FBI Warns of Impending Sale: North Korean Hackers Target $40M in Stolen Crypto
The FBI has issued a warning that North Korean hackers, specifically the Lazarus Group and APT38, may attempt to sell stolen bitcoin worth over $40 million. These hacker groups were responsible for various cryptocurrency hacks earlier this year, including the theft of $60 million from Alphapo and $100 million from Atomic Wallet. The FBI has identified six wallets containing a total of 1,580 bitcoin connected to these groups and advises cryptocurrency companies to avoid interacting with them. The agency vows to continue combating North Korea's illicit activities, including cybercrime and virtual currency theft.
