North Korean Hackers Pull Off Largest Crypto Heist: $1.5 Billion Vanishes into Thin Air!
North Korean Lazarus hackers pulled off the largest crypto heist in history, swiping a cool $1.5 billion from Bybit. How? By slipping malicious code into SafeWallet’s infrastructure. This sophisticated hack manipulated smart contracts and masked the signing interface, allowing them to siphon millions in Ethereum. It’s the crypto equivalent of finding a billion-dollar bill on the sidewalk!
