A US$357mil (RM1.46bil) hack of crypto exchange Bitget on Sept 24 was likely carried out by North Korea-linked hackers, pushing the nation-state’s haul from digital-asset thefts above US$1bil (RM4.08bil) this year, according to analytics firm Elliptic Enterprises Ltd.

The Bitget exploit showed similarities to previous attacks attributed to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, including how the stolen crypto was moved and laundered, Elliptic said in a blog post on Sept 25. Some of the funds were also connected to addresses tied to earlier hacks, including the record-setting US$1.5bil (RM6.12bil) exploit of crypto exchange Bybit last year, Elliptic said.

Bitget 遭黑客攻击是近几个月来一系列重大加密货币数据泄露事件中的最新一起，该行业正面临日益复杂的网络威胁。——图片来自 Magnific

据分析公司 Elliptic Enterprises Ltd. 称，9 月 24 日加密货币交易所 Bitget 遭黑客攻击，损失达 3.57 亿美元（14.6 亿令吉），很可能是与朝鲜有关的黑客所为，这使得朝鲜今年从数字资产盗窃中获得的收益超过了 10 亿美元（40.8 亿令吉）。

Elliptic在9月25日的一篇博文中指出，Bitget漏洞与之前归咎于朝鲜民主主义人民共和国的攻击有相似之处，包括被盗加密货币的转移和洗钱方式。Elliptic还表示，部分资金与之前黑客攻击的地址有关，其中包括去年加密货币交易所Bybit创纪录的15亿美元（约合61.2亿令吉）被盗事件。
