#SBIGroup Crypto Loses $21M in Suspected North Korean #Hack

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT reported Wednesday that addresses linked to SBI Group Crypto lost approximately $21 million on September 24. The stolen funds included $BTC , $ETH , $LTC , $DOGE, and Bitcoin Cash, which were subsequently laundered through Tornado Cash.

SBI Crypto operates as a subsidiary of Japanese financial conglomerate SBI Group. The company did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the incident. Blockchain security firm Cyvers assisted #ZachXBT with the investigation.

The attack exhibits characteristics similar to other exploits connected to North Korean #hackers. Stolen funds were routed through instant exchanges before being deposited into Tornado Cash, a decentralized mixing protocol designed to obscure transaction origins.

ZachXBT has established a reputation as one of the most prolific cryptocurrency investigators, identifying numerous instances of illicit fund movements. In June, the sleuth reported that Iranian cryptocurrency exchange Nobitex appeared compromised for over $80 million across Tron and EVM-compatible chains.

Earlier this year, Arkham Intelligence attributed the Bybit hack involving over $1.5 billion to Lazarus Group, widely believed to operate under North Korean state sponsorship. The attribution cited information provided by ZachXBT.

#TornadoCash has faced sustained scrutiny as a platform enabling hackers to launder stolen funds. The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned the protocol in August 2022. Roman Storm faced charges in 2023 for conspiracy to commit money laundering and sanctions violations related to operating Tornado Cash.
