Have you remember the recent Ronin Wallet häçk?
There has some developments.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation connected North Korean häçkers to a theft of bitcoin worth more than $600 million from a service associated with the popular crypto play-to-earn game Axie Infinity on Thursday.
Although no one has publicly assigned blame for the intrusion, the US Treasury recognized a digital currency address used by the häçkers as being controlled by a North Korean häçking outfit called “Lazarus” on Thursday.
The Treasury Department announced the addition of a new Ethereum wallet address to its list of sanctioned individuals associated with the Lazarus Group. This is the same wallet address that Sky Mavis, founder of Axie Infinity, identified as the Ronin attacker in late March.
Elliptic and Chainalysis, both blockchain analytics organizations, have confirmed that the US Treasury’s wallet address is identical to the one used in the Ronin häçk.
