US gov files complaints to seize assets from North Korean hackers

October 7, 2024 Coin Telegraph

According to PeckShieldAlert, losses from crypto hacks and exploits accounted for over $120 million in losses during September 2024.

The United States government filed two legal complaints on October 4, 2024, to begin seizing more than $2.67 million in digital assets stolen by the North Korean Lazarus hacking group.

According to the legal filings, the US government seeks to recover approximately $1.7 million in Tether (USDT) stolen by the organization in the 2022 Deribit hack — which left the options exchange drained of $28 million.

Once the hackers successfully breached a Deribit hot wallet, they passed the funds through the Tornado Cash mixer and several Ethereum (ETH) addresses in an attempt to avoid detection.
