A Reddit post discusses a reported Coinberry hot-wallet incident in which approximately 8.33 BTC was allegedly taken on 2020-08-24. The author notes that withdrawals from Coinberry’s hot wallet paused for about 17 hours after the event and then resumed using the same wallet address, which they argue makes a seed phrase or private-key compromise less likely. The post speculates about possible causes such as social engineering, impersonation, or an application/accounting bug that allowed an attacker to withdraw more than they held, but it does not provide firm attribution. No Lazarus or DPRK linkage is established in the preserved source text; the item is best treated as unconfirmed cryptocurrency-exchange incident context rather than a North Korea-attributed report.
