Cointelegraph reported that the alleged July 2023 Alphapo payment-provider hack was re-estimated above $60 million after ZachXBT identified an additional $37 million drained on Tron and Bitcoin. Alphapo serviced e-commerce, gaming, and gambling platforms, and contemporaneous wallet outflows coincided with delayed withdrawals at services that depended on it. ZachXBT assessed the activity as likely Lazarus based on a distinctive on-chain fingerprint, while the article noted that neither Alphapo nor related platforms had publicly confirmed the withdrawals as an attack at the time. The source frames the incident as part of a broader July cluster of large crypto-platform compromises, including Multichain.
