South Korea’s biggest crypto exchange, Upbit, hacked — investigators say they know who’s behind it

South Korea suspects that a North Korean team may be behind a major cyberattack on Upbit, the country’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, which resulted in the unauthorised withdrawal of 44.5 billion won ($30.4 million) in cryptocurrencies on Thursday, the Yonhap News Agency.

South Korean authorities are inspecting Upbit’s systems and suspect hackers tied to North Korea’s spy agency, known as the Lazarus Group, were behind what the exchange called “an abnormal withdrawal,” reported Yonhap.
