OMG Lazarus Group Gets Owned by BitMEX—See How They Were Hacked! 🎯

So, it turns out the dark web’s most notorious North Korean cyber baddies, the Lazarus Group, were a little too confident—like that one friend who spills all their secrets after three drinks. Thanks to the fabulous security team at BitMEX (yes, the crypto exchange that’s probably more security conscious than your grandma’s casserole), some rather embarrassing holes in their armor were discovered. Think exposed IP addresses, a juicy database, and tracking algorithms that are basically the cyber equivalent of shouting, “Hey, I’m right here!” 🕵️‍♂️

Here’s a little taste: one brave hacker (probably drunk on privilege and hacked-up confidence) accidentally leaked his real IP address, revealing he was chilling in Jiaxing, China. It’s like leaving your front door wide open and yelling, “Please rob me!” 😅

But wait, it gets better. Those brainiacs from BitMEX also cracked into a Supabase database—imagine a database platform that’s basically the kiddie pool of data—used by the Lazarus gang. How adorable! 😎

According to the report, there’s a big drama unfolding: the Lazarus crew is apparently splitting into tiny, low-skill social engineering teams and the high-tech hackers who actually know what they’re doing. Basically, it’s like if the Little League team tried to take on the Yankees—and lost. The bad news? These split groups are working together to scam and defraud with all the finesse of a bull in a china shop.

This isn’t just cyber gossip—you know, just some hackers having fun—oh no. Lazarus and his buddies have been caught red-handed in a string of high-profile scams, tech infiltrations, and shady blockchain shenanigans. Basically, the bad boys club of North Korea, and they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

Law Enforcement Gets Serious—and Possibly Scared

Global police and government folks are now freaking out and investigating the Lazarus mess more than you’d investigate your cat climbing into the fridge. The FBI warned crypto players in September 2024 about sneaky scams like fake job offers and phishing emails designed to swipe your crypto stash faster than you can say “blockchain.”

By January 2025, jolly governments like Japan, the US, and South Korea were basically waving red flags, telling everyone to beware of these North Korean hacker dudes. Rumor has it, world leaders might even chat about Lazarus’ antics at the next G7 summit—because nothing says diplomacy like a good hacking scandal.
