North Korean Hackers Lazarus Stole $240M in Crypto in 104 Days Through Major Exchange Hacks
-
North Korean hacking group Lazarus has stolen $240M in crypto over the past 104 days, according to blockchain surveillance firm Elliptic.
-
Elliptic links Lazarus to 5 major crypto hacks recently, including the $54M hack of CoinEx this week.
-
Lazarus hackers mixed stolen funds with addresses used in previous hacks of Stake and Atomic Wallet.

Elliptic agrees Lazarus should be suspected for the CoinEx hack based on blockchain activity analysis.
-
Lazarus appears to be targeting centralized platforms over decentralized ones, possibly due to easier social engineering.
