Lazarus Group’s Bitcoin holdings suddenly fluctuate

North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group has reportedly mobilized $1 million worth of Bitcoin after several weeks of inactivity. Blockchain analysts at Arkham Intelligence observed two transfers totaling 27.371 BTC from what appeared to be a cryptocurrency mixer, followed by a smaller amount of 3.343 BTC to a previously inactive wallet.

Crypto Movement: Analysis

Lazarus Group’s recent transactions have included moving significant amounts of Bitcoin, worth approximately $1.2 million, in a manner that suggests preparations for additional undisclosed activities. The ploy has brought renewed attention to the group’s significant cryptocurrency holdings, which Arkham Intelligence estimates to be worth around $79 million following these transactions.

Lazarus Group made its biggest transaction in a month this morning after withdrawing $1 million in BTC from what appeared to be a mixing service, sending $150,000 of it to a previously inactive address.

The infamous history of the Lazarus Group

The Lazarus Group, believed to be backed by North Korea, was involved in about a third of all cryptocurrency hacks in 2023, generating approximately $700 million in revenue that year. The group is known for its sophisticated and innovative hacking techniques, including using fake job offers and posing as prominent venture capitalists to infiltrate target networks.

High-profile robbery and international repercussions

One of the most infamous attacks was the Ronin Bridge hack in March 2022, which stole over $600 million in Ether and USD coins from Axie Infinity, a play-to-earn game developed by Vietnamese studio Sky Mavis. The heist is the largest in cryptocurrency history, bringing the group’s total theft from 2017 to 2023 to about $3 billion.

U.S. Government Response to the Lazarus Group’s Activities

The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has taken significant action in response to the activities of the Lazarus Group. This includes sanctioning crypto mixer Blender.io for its role in the Ronin Bridge incident, marking OFAC’s first action against a crypto mixer. OFAC also sanctioned various individuals linked to the Tornado Cash platform and the Lazarus Group.

Lazarus Group’s recent Bitcoin moves serve as a reminder of the ongoing threats in the cryptocurrency space. This highlights the importance of heightened vigilance and strong security measures within the cryptocurrency community, especially in the face of sophisticated state-sponsored hacking activities.
