Two hacking groups linked to North Korea were responsible for the theft of $100 million in an attack on a crypto service last year, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said on Monday.
The Lazarus and APT38 outfits perpetrated the June attack on U.S.-based blockchain specialist Harmony’s Horizon Bridge, the FBI said in a statement.
Horizon is an example of software that allows crypto tokens to move between different blockchains. Such cross-chain bridges became a soft target for hackers last year, with about $2 billion worth of crypto assets stolen in 13 separate bridge hacks, according to Chainalysis.
