The hackers stole more cryptocurrency in one attack than all the funds stolen by North Korean cyber criminals in 2024, when the rogue state’s cyber attackers made off with around $1.3bn in digital coins, according to cryptocurrency analysts Chainalysis.

Holy moly. 3,000 kg of gold at today’s price would be $281,382,000 (281 million dollars). Gold is $93,794 per kg at the moment.
That’s fucking WILD, I have never read about that.
It is insane that you can do that kind of a thing just sitting in front of a laptop with Tails now, though.
Yeah, it’s pretty crazy
They made a TV mini-series about it a few years ago. It’s called The Gold. If you’re in the UK, it’s on BBC iPlayer. If not, then there may be other means of acquiring it!
