"North Korean Hackers Bag Another $100m in Crypto Heists"

North Korea's infamous Lazarus hacking group has been linked to two new attacks on cryptocurrency firms which led to the theft of nearly $100m in virtual currency. CoinsPaid said in an update this week that $37.3m was stolen from the firm. The company claimed that despite the multimillion-dollar loss, customer funds remained intact, although it admitted that the platform's availability had suffered. Lazarus was also linked to an even bigger raid on crypto payments provider Alphapo last Sunday. Blockchain experts explained that Alphapo hot wallets had initially been drained of $23m in Ethereum, Tron, and Bitcoin. However, the experts updated that original estimate days later, revealing that an additional $37m in Tron and Bitcoin was found missing, bringing the total to $60m.
