Norwegian authorities stated that they confiscated that they confiscated Stolen cryptocurrency for 60 million kroons (almost $ 5.9 million) as part of an attack on the attack on Sky Mavis and its game Axie Infinity.
The statement notes that this is the largest confiscation of cryptocurrency ever produced by the Norwegian police, and one of the largest confiscation of cash ever made in Norway. The authorities continue to work with the FBI specialists to track the abducted cryptocurrency.
Norwegian law enforcement agencies became the second who returned the cryptocurrency stolen from Axie Infinity. This was the first to do the US government in September using blockchain analysts and FBI agents. They managed to remove the stolen cryptocurrency in the amount of $ 30 million from the Lazarus group. This was the first case in history of the stolen cryptocurrency from the group of North Korean hackers.
Recall that March 23, 2022 it became known about the theft of cryptocurrencies in the amount of about $ 625 million from the Ronin blockchain, which underlies the popular crypto game Axie Infinity. None of the hacker groups officially announced hacking. However, the American authorities determined that the address of the digital currency used by hackers is under the control of the North Korean hacker group Lazarus.
