TraderTraitor: North Korean State-Sponsored APT Targets Blockchain Companies
Original release date: April 18, 2022

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the U.S. Treasury Department (Treasury) are issuing this joint Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) to highlight the cyber threat associated with cryptocurrency thefts and tactics used by a North Korean state-sponsored advanced persistent threat (APT) group since at least 2020. This group is commonly tracked by the cybersecurity industry as Lazarus Group, APT38, BlueNoroff, and Stardust Chollima.

The U.S. government has observed North Korean cyber actors targeting a variety of organizations in the blockchain technology and cryptocurrency industry, including cryptocurrency exchanges, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, play-to-earn cryptocurrency video games, cryptocurrency trading companies, venture capital funds investing in cryptocurrency, and individual holders of large amounts of cryptocurrency or valuable non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

$40k is nothing.

$50k is nothing.

$60k is nothing.

I want to see $70k before I'm impressed again.

That article is total FUD bullshit.

If stocks truly fell by 40%, or even 20%, they would literally rally back the following week, and hit new ATHs within the month.

Nice spike to 43K on Kraken, triggered a couple orders, and now back down, someone bought 17BTC apparently.

Oh, my, so the liquidity is SO LOW there that 17 BTC buy causes a 2K spike (it is less than $1 mil)?

If they upgraded from a raspberry pi to a proper server they might be able to handle more liquidity.
