North Korean cybercriminals stole $308 million in digital funds earlier this 12 months after infiltrating a Japanese cryptocurrency trade’s programs by an elaborate social engineering marketing campaign, based on U.S. and Japanese authorities.
In a press launch on Monday, the FBI, the U.S. Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center and the National Police Agency of Japan attributed the theft of 4,502.9 bitcoin from DMM Bitcoin in May to TraderTraitor, a cryptocurrency-focused risk cluster related with North Korea’s Lazarus Group.
