币界网报道:North Korea's Lazarus Group has reportedly stolen over $70 million in cryptocurrency through a sophisticated phishing attack targeting a crypto wallet service. According to blockchain security firm Elliptic, the hackers impersonated a venture capital firm to gain access to employees' computers, then installed malware to steal private keys and drain wallets. The attack occurred on June 3, with stolen funds quickly moved through mixers like Tornado Cash to obscure their origin. This marks the latest in a series of high-profile crypto heists attributed to Lazarus, which has stolen an estimated $3 billion in digital assets since 2017 to fund North Korea's weapons programs. The U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned several cryptocurrency addresses linked to the group, warning that Lazarus continues to evolve its tactics to bypass security measures. Cybersecurity experts note the group now uses more advanced social engineering techniques, including fake job offers and malware-laced documents, to infiltrate crypto firms. The incident highlights ongoing vulnerabilities in the crypto ecosystem despite increased security awareness, with Lazarus specifically targeting decentralized finance protocols and cross-chain bridges where large sums are often held. International law enforcement agencies are collaborating to track the stolen funds, but recovery remains challenging due to the group's sophisticated laundering methods.
