Stole $6.4 billion, and North Korean hackers actually minted their own meme coins to launder the money! They even used Elon Musk as a profile picture 😂
I’m seriously impressed by these North Korean hackers!
The Binance $6.4 billion incident hasn’t even died down, and now these guys have come up with a new trick.
Most people launch meme coins to fleece retail investors. These guys, on the other hand, minted their own coins to launder money!
Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic discovered that suspected North Korean hackers created six meme coins on the NEAR blockchain, using pictures of monkeys, ducks, and even Elon Musk.
The funniest part is that the Musk coin was labeled “Elon 2028 President.” If you didn’t know better, you’d think Musk was planning to run for president 😂
They used stolen NEAR to buy the coins they’d minted themselves, then swapped them for funds in other wallets through liquidity pools.
After all that, they moved about $430,000 out.
It only costs about $90 to create a coin, and they just toss it once they’re done!
I used to think meme coins were just for retail investors. Now I see hackers know this game better than anyone.
But the on-chain records are still there. Using a few different wallets doesn’t mean the money’s been laundered clean. 😂
