Recorded Future News reports that hackers stole more than $100 million from the Poloniex cryptocurrency platform, with blockchain-security estimates ranging from roughly $114 million to $130 million. Poloniex said it was investigating, would reimburse affected users, and offered the attacker a 5% bounty for returning the funds while exchanges and partners worked to freeze associated assets. The article does not attribute the Poloniex theft to Lazarus, but notes U.S. law-enforcement assessments that North Korea's Lazarus Group has been a major driver of cryptocurrency-platform attacks used to fund DPRK weapons programs.
