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.

      Nah, hexbear admins and users were pretty clear and unanimous from minute 1 that they’d rather have that money spent in mutual aid (go visit c/mutual_aid in Hexbear if you’re interested) than in giving money to a cyberlandlord.
