Bitcoin ETF security concerns mount after FBI warns of North Korean hackers
North Korean hackers are reportedly targeting the billions of dollars in BTC and ETH held by crypto ETF custodians.
The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation announced on Sept. 3 that North Korean scammers and hackers were targeting firms associated with cryptocurrency-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Despite the billions of dollars flowing into these crypto ETFs, investors may be too quick to assume their assets are fully secure.
North Korean hacker groups such as Lazarus Group are no strangers to the cryptocurrency industry and are suspected of committing a number of hacks against prominent exchanges and blockchain protocols.
