Lazarus Group, North Korea’s hacking arm, has wrecked the blockchain scene. Major heists: $620M ETH/USDC from Ronin (2022), $100M from Horizon (2022), $100M from Atomic Wallet (2023), and now $1.4B ETH from Bybit
How they do it: Exploiting weak validators (Ronin), jacked private keys (Horizon), malware or supply chain hits (Atomic), and likely more of the same for Bybit. DeFi and bridge security keep taking brutal Ls.
Stolen loot? Laundered through Tornado Cash, mixers, and chain-hopping. Proceeds reportedly fund North Korea’s weapons programs, sparking sanctions on blockchain tools and geopolitical heat.
