The FBI has accused the North Korean Lazarus Group of being behind the largest cryptocurrency theft in history.

"The forensic review into the targeted attack by the Lazarus Group on Bybit concluded that this attack targeted to the Bybit Safe was achieved through a compromised machine of a SafeWallet developer resulting in the proposal of a disguised malicious transaction," SafeWallet said.

FBI has confirmed that North Korean hackers stole $1.5 billion from cryptocurrency exchange Bybit on Friday in the largest crypto heist recorded until now.
