Crypto has just experienced the heist of the century. On February 21, Bybit, one of the giants of centralized exchanges, was siphoned off 1.4 billion dollars. But the real shock lies elsewhere: in just a week, hackers have already laundered 605 million dollars worth of Ether. Unprecedented. Behind this feat is a feared actor: the Lazarus group, the armed wing of North Korea. An unexpected tool at the heart of the scandal: THORChain, the interchain protocol beloved by degens.
