The $100 Million Atomic Wallet Crypto Heist And The Russian Crypto Exchange Garantex
Blockchain security and compliance firm Elliptic has provided an update on the $100 million stolen from Atomic Wallet, implicating the Lazarus Group, a North Korean hacking collective, as the likely perpetrators behind the attack. The group allegedly used the Russian-based crypto exchange Garantex, which is under U.S. sanctions, to launder the stolen assets. Lazarus evidently managed to find alternative ways to convert its assets into Bitcoin.
