The criminals, known as the Lazarus Group, swiped the huge haul of digital tokens in an audacious and remarkable hack on the crypto exchange ByBit last month. Hackers thought to be working for the North Korean regime have successfully cashed out hundreds of millions of dollars of their record-breaking $1.5 billion crypto heist. The Lazarus Group is accused of a litany of huge hacks, allegedly to make money for the hermit nation’s weapons program. Since then, they have been in a cat-and-mouse game with the company and legions of crypto fans trying to stop them from turning the coins into usable cash.
