North Korean hackers from the Lazarus Group have stolen a record $1.5 billion from the Bybit crypto exchange, circumventing a security system considered one of the safest in the industry. The attack has raised alarms about the vulnerability of even “cold” storage wallets and the potential use of stolen funds to support the Kim Jong-Un regime’s nuclear weapons program.

Bybit, a major cryptocurrency exchange, experienced a massive security breach, resulting in the theft of $1.4 billion in Ethereum, marking the largest crypto hack in history. The SEC also announced a new unit focused on cyber and emerging technology threats.
