Lazarus and the Harmony Attack

Although the exchanges used were not explicitly mentioned, the analyst claimed that it is often withdrawn from them very swiftly.

Lazarus has become quite proficient at transferring illegal cryptocurrency while avoiding being caught by law enforcement. The Harmony Bridge attack in June 2022 was linked with the hacker group. Elliptic, a company that performs blockchain analysis, at the time provided a thorough report on the attack.

Harmony Bridge was hacked on June 24 for around $100 million. According to Elliptic, the stolen money was tracked through Tornado and to other wallets using “Tornado demixing capabilities.”.

The Lazarus Group has been involved in a number of major cryptocurrency heists worth more than $2 billion. It shifted its focus in 2022 to DeFi and cross-chain bridges and was suspected of being responsible for the $600 million Ronin Bridge attack.

The North Korean hacker group began phishing attacks in October to target cryptocurrency exchanges in Japan.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin has increased by 1.8% on the day to reach $21,155. At $1,566 per coin, Ethereum was up 2.5%.

Since the FTX collapse and subsequent market fall, all losses have been recovered.
