A North Korean hacking group stole cryptocurrency worth over $300 million from the Japan-based exchange DMM Bitcoin, according to Japanese police and the United States' FBI. The TraderTraitor group -- believed to be part of Lazarus Group, which is allegedly linked to the Pyongyang authorities -- carried out the heist, Japan's National Police Agency said Tuesday. "The FBI, National Police Agency of Japan, and other US government and international partners will continue to expose and combat North Korea's use of illicit activities -- including cybercrime and cryptocurrency theft -- to generate revenue for the regime," it said.
