📍SBI Crypto was hacked for $21M - North Korean hacker group Lazarus is suspected to be involved
📌 SBI Crypto – a mining branch of the Japanese financial group SBI Holdings – was recently hacked, with approximately $21M withdrawn from a hot wallet on September 24.
📌 On-chain data shows that the funds were transferred through mixing services, a pattern quite similar to previous hacks by the Lazarus group (North Korea). However, SBI has not made an official confirmation.
📌 Although this is not a particularly large hack compared to cases involving hundreds of millions of USD, it serves as a reminder that even large traditional financial organizations are not immune to crypto security risks.
📌 The incident is expected to reignite discussions on cybersecurity and tighter monitoring from regulatory agencies, especially if there is evidence related to North Korea.
