Lazarus Group now targets retail investors

The North Korean hack group Lazarus, previously known for attacks on large crypto projects, has changed its strategy. Now retail crypto traders are in the crosshairs.

 According to a ZackXBT investigation, $5.2 million was stolen from one investor, funds were withdrawn from multisigs, EOAs, and exchange wallets, and about 1000 ETH were sent to Tornado Cash for laundering.

 In 2024 alone, Lazarus carried out 47 attacks worth $1.3 billion (according to Chainalysis), and now they are actively hunting for less secure private wallets.

 The UN confirms that all stolen assets are used to finance the DPRK's military programs.

 Lazarus uses advanced malware, acts quickly and efficiently. Keep your wallets and devices safe!
