According to CoinMeta, statistics from on-chain analyst Darkfost show that the total amount of cryptocurrency stolen by North Korean hacker group Lazarus has reached $11.87 billion, which is equivalent to 45% of North Korea's gross domestic product ( GDP ) and 35% of the country's total national income ( GNI ). The recent Binance theft incident was the largest attack involving such a sum of money, and some of the stolen funds have been lost during the money laundering process.
