North Korean Hackers Linked to $50 Million Crypto Theft

/ 1 min read

💻💰 North Korean hackers linked to $50 million cryptocurrency heist at Radiant Capital. Following a cyberattack on October 16, 2024, Radiant Capital has attributed the $50 million theft to North Korean state-affiliated hackers known as Citrine Sleet (UNC4736). The breach involved sophisticated malware that compromised developer devices, allowing hackers to exploit the multi-signature transaction process undetected. The attack began with a deceptive Telegram message leading to the download of a malicious file, which established a backdoor on the system. Despite Radiant’s security measures, the hackers executed the theft seamlessly, prompting calls for enhanced transaction security. Radiant is now working with U.S. law enforcement to recover the stolen funds.
