• North Korean groups were behind a $100 million crypto hack last June, the FBI has confirmed.
• State-backed Lazarus Group and APT38 plundered funds from Harmony's Horizon Bridge.

US prosecutors have confirmed that two hacking groups backed by North Korea were behind a $100 million crypto theft from a California firm last year.
In a statement Monday, the FBI confirmed Lazarus Group and APT38 were behind a hack of crypto group Harmony's Horizon bridge on June 24.
The agency said on January 13, said North Korean cyber actors used a privacy protocol to launder over $60 million worth of ethereum stolen during the June 2022 heist, with a portion sent to several virtual asset service providers and converted to bitcoin.
