Presentation Title: How North Korea stole $41 million - A first-hand story
In September 2023, the world's largest cryptocurrency casino was the victim of a cyber-attack perpetrated by North Korea's well-known threat actor group known as Lazarus. Over USD$41 million was stolen in Ethereum and other related cryptocurrency tokens. Get an inside first-hand look at the technical detail behind the attack, and the incident response involved. We'll discuss how sophisticated (or not) a nation-state adversary can be, and how much (or little) malware and customised payloads were used to accomplish such a thing.
