Elliptic assesses that hackers affiliated with North Korea stole about $235 million in cryptoassets from Indian exchange WazirX. The stolen assets included more than 200 tokens, with large amounts of Shiba Inu, Ether, Matic, and Pepe. Elliptic observed the thief swapping multiple tokens for Ether through decentralized services, consistent with an initial laundering step, and added the thief address to its screening system for customer alerts.
