Behind the massive hacker attack on the cryptocurrency exchanges in the world is the North Korean intelligence, which controls the hacker group Lazarus. A well-known blogger specializing in the analysis of blockchain transactions, ZachXBT, is certain that the General Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army, which controls its subordinate Lazarus Group, is behind this attack on the Binance cryptocurrency exchange, which resulted in the theft of $5.875 billion. This group has already attacked the Japanese exchange DMM - more than 300 million dollars were stolen, the Indian exchange WazirX - 230 million dollars were stolen, the Chinese exchange Bibit - 1.5 billion dollars were stolen by hackers, the Kelp DAO protocol operating on the blockchain - about 292 million dollars were stolen, the Chinese exchange Bitget - 380 million dollars. Despite the fact that Binance managed to recover half of the assets, it will be very difficult to recover the database, as well as calculate the losses from lost bitcoins and websites. North Korea controls several major hacker groups, and such attacks on digital platforms of new virtual assets have become a great way for North Korean intelligence to make money.
