State-backed North Korean hackers have stolen $1.5bn (£1.2bn) of cryptocurrency in the largest heist in history.

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.

    You know you could’ve asked what I already know instead of assuming it’s nothing and giving me the most basic 101 lecture all because I spoke ill of the almighty crypto. I mined for three years.

      It wasn’t meant as a lecture for you. I made no assumptions about what you know, just what you said. The lecture was for others coming by your comment because lots of people don’t know the dangers of keeping crypto in exchange wallets.

      Apologies if I offended you.

      I don’t think that was an attack on your knowledge, but rather a disclaimer for other readers. I could be wrong, though!
