According to the FBI announcement, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a Public Service Announcement (PSA) confirming that the North Korean hacker group is responsible for the theft of approximately $150 million in digital assets from the exchange. The FBI stated that the hacker group acted quickly, converting a portion of the stolen assets into and other digital assets, and dispersing them across thousands of addresses on multiple blockchains. These assets are expected to be further laundered and ultimately converted into fiat currency. To prevent the circulation of the stolen assets, the FBI has strongly urged various participants in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, including RPC node operators, exchange platforms, cross-chain bridge services, blockchain analysis companies, decentralized finance services, and other virtual asset service providers, to take action to fully block all transactions related to or originating from the addresses used by the hackers for money laundering.
