★Bitrefill links Lazarus Group to employee laptop hack, stolen funds
"This incident underscores the persistent and evolving threat state-sponsored actors like Lazarus Group pose to crypto infrastructure, irrespective of direct user fund impact. Such attacks elevate operational risk for service providers, potentially increasing compliance burdens and insurance costs across the digital asset ecosystem. Institutions must factor these sophisticated, nation-state-backed threats into their due diligence and risk models for counterparty exposure."

Bitrefill reports a laptop hack, attributing the incident and subsequent fund drain to the Lazarus Group. While the company will cover the losses, it seems another day brings another familiar tale of digital assets and compromised security. Some things, apparently, never change.
