FBI SAYS NORTH KOREAN HACKERS STOLE MORE THAN $600 MILLION IN CRYPTOCURRENCY IN
SINGLE HACK

By Sean Lyngaas, CNN



Updated 0209 GMT (1009 HKT) April 15, 2022

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un (C) walks with North Korean military personnel
during the test launch operation of what state media reports is a new type of
intercontinental ballistic missile, in an undisclosed location in North Korea,
March 24, 2022.

(CNN)The FBI on Thursday blamed hackers associated with the North Korean
government for stealing more than $600 million in cryptocurrency last month from
a video gaming company -- the latest in a string of audacious cyber heists tied
to Pyongyang.

"Through our investigation we were able to confirm Lazarus Group and APT38,
cyber actors associated with the DPRK, are responsible for the theft of $620
million in Ethereum reported on March 29th," the FBI said in a statement. "DPRK"
is an abbreviation for North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea, and Ethereum is a technology platform associated with a type
of cryptocurrency.
The FBI was referring to the recent hack of a computer network used by Axie
Infinity, a video game that allows players to earn cryptocurrency. Sky Mavis,
the company that created Axie Infinity, announced on March 29 that unidentified
hackers had stolen the equivalent of roughly $600 million -- valued at the time
of the hack's discovery -- on March 23 from a "bridge," or network that allows
users to send cryptocurrency from one blockchain to another.



The US Treasury Department on Thursday sanctioned Lazarus Group, a wide swath of
hackers believed to work on behalf of the North Korean government. Treasury
sanctioned the specific "wallet," or cryptocurrency address, that was used to
cash out on the Axie Infinity hack.

Cyberattacks have been an important source of revenue for the North Korean
regime for years as its leader, Kim Jong Un, has continued to pursue nuclear
weapons, according to a United Nations panel and outside cybersecurity experts.

North Korea last month fired what is believed to be its first intercontinental
ballistic missile in more than four years.
Lazarus Group has stolen an estimated $1.75 billion worth of cryptocurrency in
recent years, according to Chainalysis, a firm that tracks digital currency
transactions.



"A hack of a cryptocurrency business, unlike a retailer, for example, is
essentially bank robbery at the speed of the internet and funds North Korea's
destabilizing activity and weapons proliferation," said Ari Redbord, head of
legal affairs at TRM Labs, a firm that investigates financial crime. "As long as
they are successful and profitable, they will not stop."
While many cybersecurity analysts' attention has been on Russian hacking in
light of the war in Ukraine, suspected North Korean hackers have been far from
quiet.
Researchers at Google last month disclosed two different alleged North Korean
hacking campaigns targeting US media and IT organizations, and cryptocurrency
and financial technology sectors.
Google has a policy of notifying users who are targeted by state-sponsored
hackers.

Shane Huntley, who leads Google's Threat Analysis Group, said that if a Google
user has "any link to being involved in Bitcoin or cryptocurrency" and they get
a warning about state-backed hacking from Google, it almost always ends up being
North Korean activity.
"It seems to be an ongoing strategy for them to supplement and make money
through this activity," Huntley told CNN.
