U.S. prosecutors filed a civil forfeiture complaint seeking about 1.69 million USDT tied to alleged wire-fraud, money-laundering, and computer-intrusion offenses. The filing says the funds were seized from five Tether wallet addresses controlled by members of North Korean military hacking groups known as Lazarus Group and APT38. The document does not describe malware or intrusion tooling; its CTI value is the legal attribution of cryptocurrency proceeds to DPRK military hackers and the wallet-based seizure action.
