Norway has seized a record $5.8 million worth of cryptocurrency that was stolen by North Korean hackers last year, Norwegian police said in a statement on Thursday.
挪威警方週四在一份聲明中說,挪威查扣了一批去年被北韓駭客竊取、價值達創紀錄580萬美元的加密貨幣。
North Korean hackers stole $625 million in March 2022 from a blockchain project linked to the crypto-based game Axie Infinity.
北韓駭客2022年3月從一項連結到加密幣遊戲Axie Infinity的區塊鏈專案中,偷走6億2500萬美元。
The heist was one of the largest of its kind on record, and was linked by the United States to a North Korean hacking group dubbed "Lazarus".
這項竊盜案是這類案件的紀錄中,最大規模的其中一筆,被美國認為與名為Lazarus的北韓駭客團體有關連。
"This is money that can be used to finance the North Korean regime and their nuclear weapons programme," Norway’s senior public prosecutor, Marianne Bender, said in a statement. (Reuters)
