Atomic Wallet Hackers Use THORChain to Conceal Stolen $35M Funds

The hackers, believed to be North Korean hacking group Lazarus, have been using cross-chain bridges and liquidity protocols to mix stolen funds. Hackers that targeted crypto wallet Atomic Wallet in a $35 million heist earlier this month have used cross-chain liquidity protocol THORChain to conceal their ill-gotten gains, according to blockchain sleuth MistTrack. MistTrack states that 503.08 ether (ETH), or around $870,000, connected to the hack was transferred to THORChain in the last two days before being swapped for bitcoin (BTC). Last week, the hackers moved a portion of stolen funds to crypto exchange Garantex.
