    FBI: North Korea responsible for $1.5 billion crypto theft

    Canada Global (Web News) The FBI has accused North Korea of stealing $1.5 billion in digital assets from the Dubai-based cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, marking the largest crypto heist in history.

    Bybit reported the theft of 400,000 Ethereum, stating that attackers exploited security vulnerabilities to transfer the assets to an unknown address. The FBI attributed the attack to the Lazarus Group, also known as TraderTraitor, which has since converted some of the stolen funds into Bitcoin and distributed them across multiple blockchains for laundering.

    The Lazarus Group has a history of cybercrimes, including the 2014 Sony Pictures hack and the $620 million Ronin Network theft in 2022. It was also linked to a $300 million hack of Japan-based DMM Bitcoin in December.

    North Korea’s cyber-warfare efforts date back to the 1990s, with a 6,000-member hacking unit known as Bureau 121. Reports suggest these cyber operations, directed by Pyongyang’s intelligence agency, have stolen over $3 billion in cryptocurrency since 2017 to fund North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

    Canada Global (Web News) According to Seoul’s military, North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles on Friday, the most recent in a string of weapons tests that violated sanctions.

    The test comes at the conclusion of a year that saw Pyongyang undertake a record number of nuclear tests, including the launch last month of its most sophisticated intercontinental ballistic missile yet, with a range that might reach the US mainland.

    Pyongyang also asserted earlier this week that it has created new tools for taking pictures from space.

    The Joint Chiefs of Staff of South Korea reported that two short-range ballistic missiles fired by North Korea into the East Sea, commonly known as the Sea of Japan, were intercepted by their military at 16:32 (0732 GMT) today.

    Before crashing into the East Sea, the two missiles travelled about 250 kilometres (155 miles) and 350 kilometres (217 miles), respectively.

    Pyongyang’s launch was also confirmed by Tokyo, whose top government spokesperson, Hirokazu Matsuno, referred to the North’s most recent provocations as “totally intolerable.”
