The state-sponsored hackers reportedly pulled over $1 million in BTC from a mixer and sent some to an inactive wallet.
North Korean hackers Lazarus Group moved over $1 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC) on Jan. 8 after weeks of inactivity.
According to blockchain analysts Arkham Intelligence, the Lazarus Group transferred 27.371 BTC, worth $1.2 million at the current price, in two transfers from what the analysts took to be a cryptocurrency mixer. Lazarus Group then sent 3.343 BTC, worth $150,582, to an inactive address they had used before.
Arkham showed $79 million in the Lazarus Group portfolio after the transactions. While it is impossible to guess the intentions of the criminal group, the transfers could indicate that it is preparing for more activity.
