đš A SINGLE HACKER GROUP HAS NOW STOLEN OVER 1 BILLION DOLLARS IN CRYPTO â JUST FROM NORTH KOREA ALONE
Bitget suffered a 352 million dollar hack this week, and North Korea-linked wallets are now believed to hold over 1 billion dollars in stolen crypto total, per Bloomberg reporting today. Separately, more than 170 million dollars in crypto moved from Bitget wallets to an unidentified address, according to The Block.
This lands the same day PeckShield flagged 4.3 million dollars in suspicious Duelbits outflows, including 836 $ETH and 12.398 billion $SHIB â a reminder that exchange-level security incidents are recurring almost weekly across the sector right now, not isolated events.
Context on the broader tape: $BTC closed at 84,383 dollars Wednesday, down 2.08%, retreating from its push above 87,000 as traders locked in gains despite continued strong inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs. $XRP fell the hardest among majors, down 4.53% to 1.5006 dollars, while $SOL slipped 2.98% to 114.98.
