#WazirX Recovers $3 Million in Stolen Assets#

Six months after suffering a cyberattack, crypto exchange WazirX announced the freezing of the first batch of stolen assets, valued at approximately $3 million. This marks a significant step forward as investigative agencies have identified the stolen funds, bringing victims closer to recovering their assets. Previously, WazirX was hit by a cyberattack on July 18, 2023, resulting in the theft of over $230 million in digital assets. The U.S., South Korea, and Japan issued a joint statement on January 14, blaming North Korean hackers for the theft. Through on-chain forensics and legal avenues targeting third parties involved in the hack and subsequent asset movement, WazirX has been actively working to maximize the recovery of stolen assets for the benefit of planned creditors.
