 ZachXBT Suspects Lazarus Group in $305M DMM Bitcoin Hack. 
 ZachXBT has reported that the recent $305 million hack of DMM Bitcoin, a Japanese crypto exchange, might be the work of the Lazarus Group, a group known for its ties to North Korea. ZachXBT noticed that the way the stolen money was being moved around looked very similar to how Lazarus usually operates. In a tweet, the on-chain investigator shared that over $35 million of the stolen funds were sent to an online marketplace called Huione Guarantee in July. This caught the eye of Tether the stablecoin issuer, which blocked a Tron-based wallet holding 29.6 million USDT in it. This same wallet, which is connected to Huione, had gotten about $14 million from the DMM Bitcoin hack in just three days.
