North Korea is behind the massive crypto hack, according to several blockchain monitoring firms and a well-known researcher

The cryptocurrency industry and those responsible for securing it are still in shock following Friday’s heist, likely by North Korea, that drained $1.5 billion from Dubai-based exchange Bybit, making the theft by far the biggest ever in digital asset history.

Researchers spot the $1.4 billion stolen from Bybit moving through cryptocurrency wallets that were used in earlier heists attributed to North Korea's Lazarus hacking group.
