Северная Корея легализует похищенную криптовалюту через Россию и Азию OOH Северокорейские хакеры с января 2024 года по сентябрь 2025-го похитили криптовалюту на $2,837 млрд. Большая часть средств легализуется через посредников в России, Гонконге и Камбодже, сообщили эксперты Многосторонней группы по мониторингу санкций в отношении КНДР (MSMT) при ООН. Главной целью хакеров из КНДР эксперты Организации Объединенных Наций назвали крупные централизованные криптобиржи. Киберпреступники наладили тесные контакты с российскими группировками, которые занимаются разработкой программ-вымогателей, заявили представители MSMT. В Северной Корее насчитывается не менее 2000 программистов, работающих удаленно под чужими именами в России, Лаосе, Камбодже и африканских странах. Они переводят свою зарплату на родину для финансирования военных программ, считают специалисты организации при ООН. Ситуация осложняется тем, что киберподразделения из Пхеньяна начали использовать искусственный интеллект практически на каждом этапе хищения криптовалюты: разведка, фишинг, анализ кода, кражи и отмывание похищенных цифровых монет. Используя модели, схожие с ChatGPT и Claude, злоумышленники анализируют открытый исходный код блокчейнов, находят уязвимости у криптобирж и переносят успешные методы взлома из одной экосистемы в другую, рассказали эксперты MSMT. По мнению специалистов ООН, без международного сотрудничества и создания единых стандартов кибербезопасности подобные схемы кражи виртуальных активов будут только шириться, угрожая не только крипторынку, но и глобальной финансовой стабильности. Ранее эксперты работающей в области кибербезопасности компании Elliptic заявили, что северокорейские хакеры за первые девять месяцев года похитили более $2 млрд в криптовалютах. Это рекорд за всю историю наблюдений. Доля биткоинов в этом объеме могла составить от 20% до 35%. $BTC #Hacked $BTC {spot}(BTCUSDT)

But it asked me to download a script file. I immediately left. Messaged the guy on Telegram and told him to call me on TG to verify him.

#bybit Bybit Hack On February 21, 2025 , Bybit, a major cryptocurrency exchange, suffered a significant hack that resulted in the theft of approximately $1.5 billion in digital assets, primarily Ethereum and related tokens. The hackers exploited a cold wallet, leading to massive withdrawals and a sell-off of Ethereum, with trading volume surging 60%.  Details of the Hack: Amount Stolen:  Approximately $1.5 billion in ETH and related tokens. Method:  The hackers used a deceptive interface to trick Bybit’s team into authorizing a malicious transaction, which altered the smart contract logic of the cold wallet. Impact:  Bybit confirmed the hack and assured users that their assets are secure and will be covered. Investigation:  On-chain analyst ZachXBT provided evidence linking the hack to the Lazarus Group, a North Korean hacker collective, and confirmed that the same wallets used in the Bybit hack were also involved in the recent Phemex breach. Market Reaction:  The crypto market reacted negatively, with Bitcoin, XRP, and Dogecoin experiencing significant drops in value. Recovery Efforts: Bybit CEO Ben Zhou stated that the exchange is solvent and can cover the loss, as all client assets are 1 to 1 backed. Efforts to recover the stolen funds are unlikely due to the nature of the hack and the rapid dispersal of assets across multiple wallets. Further Developments: The incident has raised concerns about the security of cold wallets and the potential for future attacks.
