According to BlockBeats, the U.S. government filed two legal actions on October 4 to begin seizing digital assets worth more than $2.67 million stolen by the North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group. PeckShieldAlert data shows that losses from cryptocurrency hacks and vulnerabilities in September 2024 exceeded $120 million.

The U.S. government seeks to recover approximately $1.7 million in USDT, which was stolen in the 2022 Deribit hack. Hackers mixed coins through the Tornado Cash mixer and multiple Ethereum addresses.

In addition, U.S. law enforcement officials also applied to recover approximately $970,000 in Avalanche-bridged-Bitcoin (BTC.b), which was stolen in the 2023 Stake.com gambling platform hack. The attack caused Stake to lose more than $41 million.
