The U.S. government filed two legal actions on October 4, 2024, seeking to recover more than $2.67 million worth of digital assets stolen by the North Korean Lazarus hacker group. About $1.7 million of this was Tether USDT stolen in the 2022 Deribit exchange hack, which resulted in a loss of $28 million from the exchange. The hackers moved funds through the Tornado Cash mixer and multiple Ethereum addresses to avoid detection. In addition, U.S. law enforcement is also trying to recover approximately $970,000 in Avalanche-bridged-Bitcoin (BTC.b), which was stolen by the Lazarus Group in the 2023 attack on the Stake.com gambling platform, which resulted in a loss of more than $41 million.
