Eyes Were Turned To North Korea In Axie Infinity Hack

In the Axie Infinity hack, eyes were turned to North Korea. About the theft of $622 million, the US Treasury pointed to North Korea.

As you know, recently, Ethereum side chain Ronin of the popular play to earn game Axie Infinity was hacked and approximately 622 million dollars of assets were stolen. Thereupon, while many institutions and organizations started investigations about the incident, a remarkable development came from the US Treasury. As it is known, the US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) imposed sanctions on several North Korean Ethereum wallets linked to the hacking of the Ronin Blockchain network and expanded its research in this direction. As these efforts continue, the U.S. Treasury announced on Twitter that it has added three more cryptocurrency wallet addresses to the Specially Designated National (SDN) and Blocked Persons List. However, in the published report, it was stated that North Korea "relies on illegal activities such as cybercrime to generate income", while it was emphasized that people who make any transactions with the specified addresses "risk of being exposed to US sanctions".
