Investigator traces $387M Bitget hack funds linked to North Korea laundering on Discord and Telegram

An investigator named ZachXBT is tracking $387 million stolen in a hack on crypto exchange Bitget, linking the funds to North Korea-associated launderers. These suspects are openly seeking help on Discord and Telegram to move the stolen money across blockchains using cross-chain bridges and mixing services like Wasabi. One suspect, "Alias 4," was previously tied to laundering from another $292 million crypto hack. The activity matches patterns from the North Korea-linked TraderTraitor group. The investigation is ongoing with more data expected soon.

The investigation by ZachXBT into the $387 million Bitget hack is notable amid a cryptocurrency market where only 9 of 50 major cryptocurrencies rose today. As of Sep 28, 2026 18:21 WIB, the market breadth shows 40 cryptocurrencies fell. Among them, SUSHI (SushiSwap) dropped 6.32% with 96% sell orders on Pluang, while NEO (Neo) fell 6.17% but had 83% buy orders, and FIL (Filecoin) declined 6.08% with 59% buy orders. This snapshot provides context on market activity during the ongoing investigation.
