In an investigation led by blockchain sleuth ZachXBT, it has been revealed that the infamous North Korean hacking organization, Lazarus Group, managed to launder approximately $200 million from over 25 cryptocurrency hacks between 2020 and 2023.
The Lazarus Group employed various services such as Tornado Cash and P2P platforms like Paxful and Noones to mix and convert stolen funds to fiat currency, showcasing a complex operation that has raised concerns about the security of digital assets.
The investigation was made possible through the efforts of ZachXBT and highlights the importance of collaboration among industry stakeholders in defending against targeted attacks.
