“More than $30 million in cryptocurrency stolen by hackers with ties to North Korea has been recovered with the assistance of law enforcement and top cryptocurrency industry organizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are convinced that this won't be the last time cryptocurrency stolen by a North Korean hacking cell has been seized “said Plante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This past spring, hackers stole over $600 million from Axie and laundered a large portion of the money through the privacy mixer Tornado Cash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
