Suspected Lazarus Group Hack Steals $30.4M from Upbit

Upbit

North Korean-linked hackers are suspected of stealing millions in digital assets from Korea’s largest crypto exchange.

In late November 2025, South Korean authorities reported a major security breach at Upbit. Attackers exfiltrated approximately $30.4 million in cryptocurrency. Investigators noted technical signatures similar to past heists by the North Korean Lazarus Group. The exchange was forced to halt transactions temporarily to secure its remaining assets.
