	"plain_text": "FBI Identifies Cryptocurrency Funds Stolen by DPRK | Federal\r\nBureau of Investigation\r\nArchived: 2026-04-02 12:24:26 UTC\r\nThe FBI is warning cryptocurrency companies of recent blockchain activity connected to the theft of hundreds of\r\nmillions of dollars in cryptocurrency. Over the last 24 hours, the FBI tracked cryptocurrency stolen by the\r\nDemocratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) TraderTraitor-affiliated actors (also known as Lazarus Group and\r\nAPT38). The FBI believes the DPRK may attempt to cash out the bitcoin worth more than $40 million. \r\nThe FBI investigation found the TraderTraitor-affiliated actors moved approximately 1,580 bitcoin from several\r\ncryptocurrency heists and are currently holding those funds in following bitcoin addresses:\r\n3LU8wRu4ZnXP4UM8Yo6kkTiGHM9BubgyiG\r\n39idqitN9tYNmq3wYanwg3MitFB5TZCjWu\r\n3AAUBbKJorvNhEUFhKnep9YTwmZECxE4Nk\r\n3PjNaSeP8GzLjGeu51JR19Q2Lu8W2Te9oc\r\n3NbdrezMzAVVfXv5MTQJn4hWqKhYCTCJoB\r\n34VXKa5upLWVYMXmgid6bFM4BaQXHxSUoL\r\nThe DPRK TraderTraitor-affiliated actors were responsible for several high-profile international cryptocurrency\r\nheists to include the $60 million theft of virtual currency from Alphapo on June 22, 2023; the $37 million theft of\r\nvirtual currency from CoinsPaid on June 22, 2023; and the $100 million theft of virtual currency from Atomic\r\nWallet on June 2, 2023. The FBI previously provided information on their attacks against Harmony’s Horizon\r\nbridge and Sky Mavis’ Ronin Bridge, and provided a Cybersecurity Advisory on TraderTraitor. In addition, the\r\nU.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned the Lazarus Group in 2019.\r\nPrivate sector entities should examine the blockchain data associated with these addresses and be vigilant in\r\nguarding against transactions directly with, or derived from, the addresses. The FBI will continue to expose and\r\ncombat the DPRK’s use of illicit activities—including cybercrime and virtual currency theft—to generate revenue\r\nfor the regime. If you have any information to provide, please contact your local FBI field office or the FBI’s\r\nInternet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov.\r\nSource: https://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases/fbi-identifies-cryptocurrency-funds-stolen-by-dprk\r\nhttps://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases/fbi-identifies-cryptocurrency-funds-stolen-by-dprk\r\nPage 1 of 1",
