North Korean Hackers' Crypto Heist Exposed

North Korean hackers, posing as IT workers, have been stealing over $3.5 million in crypto since November, using a network of over 140 individuals. They operated through a site called luckyguys.site, using the password one two three four five six. The crypto was then converted to cash and wired to Chinese bank accounts. This incident is part of a larger trend of North Korean hackers stealing over $7 billion in crypto since 2009, including high-profile attacks like the $625 million Ronin bridge exploit. The hackers also used fake IDs and VPNs to apply for legitimate jobs and freelance work. This incident highlights the growing threat of state-backed hacking groups and the need for stronger crypto defenses.
