The FBI referred to the attack as “TraderTraitor,” a malicious campaign linked to North Korean state-sponsored hackers the Lazarus Group.

Assets were stolen from Dubai-based cryptocurrency exchange Bybit earlier this month, in what's believed to be the largest-ever digital heist.

Bybit said it recovered nearly 447,000 ether tokens, replenishing its reserves through a mix of emergency loans and whale deposits.

North Korean hackers took just two minutes to make off with $1.5bn (£1.2bn) in cryptocurrency, cyber security researchers believe, in the single biggest heist in history.
