Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Ketika Negara Mengatur Arah Kekayaan Alam", "Obligasi Daerah DKI Jakarta dalam Perspektif Hukum Tata Negara", you may read also "Urgensi Wacana Pembentukan Kementerian Penanggulangan Bencana Alam di Indonesia" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'The Story of North Korean Hackers Pulling off a Crypto Heist Worth Nearly IDR 25 Trillion'.

Hackers allegedly working for the North Korean regime have successfully cashed out at least US$300 million (approximately IDR 4.9 trillion) from a US$1.5 billion (IDR 24.6 trillion) cryptocurrency heist. The perpetrators, known as the Lazarus Group, made off with a massive quantity of digital tokens during a hack of the ByBit cryptocurrency exchange about two weeks ago. With a total value of US$1.5 billion (IDR 24.6 trillion), this robbery set a record as the largest in history.[1]

Since then, a cat-and-mouse game has played out to prevent the hackers from converting the cryptocurrency into cash. "For these hackers, every minute counts. They try to obscure the money trail, and they are very skilled at it," said Dr. Tom Robinson, co-founder of Elliptic. London-based Elliptic is a firm that analyzes and investigates digital currencies. Among all the criminals involved in cryptocurrency, Robinson identifies North Korea as the most adept at laundering digital currency.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
