The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) earlier today, accused North Korea of orchestrating the largest cryptocurrency heist ever recorded. According to the agency, hackers stole approximately $1.5 billion in digital assets from Dubai-based crypto exchange Bybit on February 19.
The FBI warned that the stolen assets would likely be laundered and converted into currency. In response, Bybit has launched an online system to track and freeze the stolen funds while offering a bounty for information leading to their recovery.
Bybit’s CEO, Ben Zhou, emphasized the importance of transparency in combating cybercrime, calling it their most potent weapon against digital theft. The incident highlights ongoing concerns over cybersecurity threats in the crypto industry.
