GANGSTER STATE: North Korea Might Be Behind The World’s Largest Crypto Heist.
Reuters reported that the statement given by the unnamed source echoed an earlier report made by South Korea’s Channel A news. The news report said that there was a high probability that the Coincheck hack was a North Korean crypto heist.
The National Intelligence Service (NIS) told South Korea’s parliament Monday that the North Korean crypto heist last year was on the scale of tens of millions of dollars, according to parliamentary sources.
Sources also told the press that South Korea’s National Intelligence Service had also informed the National Assembly that it was investigating the possibility of the January 26 hack being a North Korean crypto heist.
The National Intelligence Service also said that tens of billions of won in virtual currency were stolen from South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges last year. The hacks, which were most likely North Korean cyber heists, involved the sending of hacking emails to members of the exchanges.
