## Resource

North Korea may be behind a $36 million crypto heist targeting Humanity Protocol, after hackers used a phishing email disguised as a Bithumb token update to install malware on an employee’s laptop, stealing private keys and wallet credentials. This marks another in a string of massive crypto thefts linked to Pyongyang, with over $7 billion stolen in the past decade — and this time, the malware’s South Korean digital certificate signature points squarely to North Korean cyber ops.
