DMMBitcoin attackers may be a North Korean hacking group

On July 15th, on-chain detective ZachXBT said that more than 35 million dollars of funds have been laundered to Huione Guarantee about the crypto exchange DMM Bitcoin, which was stolen for $305 million in May. Blockchain forensics firm Elliptic added that the market is located in Cambodia and is associated with the country's "ruling Hun family". Elliptic said that the market has traded $11 billion worth of cryptocurrencies from hacks, romance scams and other vulnerabilities. ZachXBT said that due to the similarity of money laundering techniques and off-chain indicators, it is suspected that the North Korean hacking group Lazarus Group was behind the hack. The funds were then converted into USDT and bridged to Tron, which was then transferred to Huione. ZachXBT also shared 538 wallet addresses related to the Lazarus Group, Huione, and others involved in the DMM Bitcoin hack.
