🔥 Lazarus Group Moves ~244 BTC (~$19.4M)
North Korea’s Lazarus Group just moved Bitcoin from one of their known wallets into two new addresses.
Previously, in July 2026, Lazarus transferred 121.5 BTC (~$7.74 million) to two anonymous wallets. Then in mid-August 2026, they moved another 262 BTC (~$16.6 million), again splitting it across two new wallets.
Who is Lazarus Group? A state-backed North Korean hacking group (linked to intelligence agency RGB). They’re behind some of crypto’s biggest hacks:
- Bybit exchange — $1.7B, 2025 (biggest crypto hack ever)
- Axie Infinity (Ronin Bridge) — $620M, 2022
In just the first half of 2026, they were tied to ~55% of all crypto theft losses (~$609M).
