North Korean Cybercriminals Implicated in the Axie Infinity Hack

Government agencies and Chainalysis verified this week that the Ronin breach was carried out by North Korea's Lazarus Group. The Ronin attack is the greatest crypto hack ever, with thieves making off with $552 million.


The Ronin Network of Axie Infinity was hacked in April.


The Ronin incident happened in March, and monies taken were 173.6k ETH and 25.5m USDC, according to reports.


Since the March breach, Chainalysis has been collaborating with US federal authorities to track down the monies that have gone missing.


The Lazarus Group's role in the Ronin hack was verified by the US Treasury Department last week. The US government updated its "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons" list with an Ethereum address related to the Lazarus Group, according to Chainalysis.


The Lazarus Group is a cybercriminal gang based in North Korea. The unit is the 414 Liaison Office in North Korea, according to North Korean defector Kim Kuk-song.
