CoinEx over $27M hack loss traced to North Korean hackers
North Korean hackers have stolen more than $200 million worth of cryptocurrencies this year.
The over $27 million hack of crypto exchange CoinEx was carried out by the North Korean Lazarus Group, blockchain security firm SlowMist reported on Sept. 13.
The findings were corroborated by prominent on-chain sleuth ZachXBT, who posted that the group accidentally connected their address to the $41 million Stake hack on Optimism and Polygon.
SlowMist explained how it arrived at this conclusion, stating how the addresses involved in the previous Stake and Aplhapo exploit interacted with that of the CoinEx hack.
On Sept. 7, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) linked the $41 million exploit of crypto gambling site Stake to the North Korean state-backed actors. According to the notice, North Korean hackers have stolen over $200 million in crypto assets from several crypto projects, including Atomic Wallet and Alphapo.
