Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis attributed the recent $387 million hack of the Bitget crypto exchange to North Korea-linked actors, marking the total crypto stolen by these groups in 2026 to over $1 billion. The stolen funds moved rapidly across multiple blockchains, mainly Ethereum and XRP, with attackers using complex laundering techniques to obscure the trail.
