The Lazarus group is widely believed to be responsible for numerous security incidents, including those involving CoinEx, Stake, Atomic Wallet, Harmony, and more. According to a cybersecurity report by Recorded Future, it is estimated that the group has amassed over 3 billion USD in the last three years.

Based on information compiled from TRM Labs, North Korean hackers account for about ⅓ of the attacks in 2023, with proceeds of about 600 million USD. The total amount of money that the North Korean hacker group “swordfished” in 2022 also reached more than 1 billion USD.
