Lazarus, a North Korean hacking group, has recently shifted its tactics to target individual cryptocurrency investors. According to PANews, they stole over $5.2 million from victims on May 24th through malware. The stolen funds were obtained from various wallet types, including exchange wallets, multi-signature wallets, and external accounts. Blockchain analyst ZackXBT revealed that approximately 1,000 ETH was moved through the mixing service Tornado Cash by the hackers. Security experts are urging individual investors to take protective measures, such as using hardware wallets for large assets, enabling two-factor authentication, keeping software up-to-date, being wary of suspicious links, and regularly checking transaction records. This attack highlights a strategic shift in the group’s approach, moving away from targeting financial institutions towards attacking individuals.
