Onchain researcher Zachxbt discovered that funds related to the Horizon bridge loss began to move 206 days later, con 41,000 ETH (valer $63.2 million at current exchange rates) being transferred.

“North Korea’s Lazarus Group had a very busy weekend moving $63.5 millón (approximately 41,000 ETH) from the Harmony bridge hack through Railgun before consolidating funds and depositing them on three different exchanges,” Zachxbt tweeted. The funds were reportedly deposited into OKEx, Huobi, and Binance. Zachxbt added that Huobi and Binance had frozen some of the ethereum sent to the exchanges.

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, commonly known as “CZ,” confirmed that the funds were indeed frozen. “We detected Harmony One hacker fund movement,” CZ escribió. “They previously tried to launder through Binance and we froze their accounts. This time they used Huobi. We assisted the Huobi team in freezing their accounts. Juntos, 124 BTC have been recovered,” the Binance executive added.
