North Korean hackers were behind the theft of $1.5 billion of virtual assets last week from Dubai-based cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation said, marking the biggest heist in history.
The FBI said on Wednesday that North Korea was responsible for the theft of approximately $1.5 billion in virtual assets from cryptocurrency exchange ByBit.
The theft earlier this month targeting Bybit, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, represents yet another involving a team of hackers identified by the US government by the names TraderTraitor and the Lazarus Group.
