On Tuesday, Coinex was hacked, losing about $54 million, which included 231 BTC, 6,559 ETH, 137.128 million TRX, and several million in assorted ERC20 tokens and stablecoins. Coinex informed the community about the hack after blockchain monitoring firms detected that the wallets were being drained. New findings suggest the hackers are likely from the North Korean hacking syndicate Lazarus Group. Lazarus Group has operated since at least 2009 and is tied to several notable cyberattacks. These include the 2017 Wannacry ransomware attack, the 2014 hack of Sony Pictures, and significant attacks against crypto exchanges since 2017. The group is believed to be associated with the Reconnaissance General Bureau, a North Korean military intelligence agency. It’s recognized for its advanced tactics and techniques.
