Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

BitMEX says it thwarted a cyberattack it believes was carried out by North Korea–linked Lazarus Group, uncovering the attackers' IP addresses and flagging critical lapses in their operational security. The exchange reported that the threat actors used identifiable infrastructure, reused email credentials, and made several errors during the intrusion attempt. While no user funds were impacted, BitMEX has referred the case to authorities and emphasized its zero-tolerance policy for threats to platform security.
