“The misconduct uncovered in relation to Quadriga is limited to Quadriga,” said the Ontario regulator, “and should not be understood as applying to the crypto asset platform industry as a whole.”

No one tell him about the bitwise report. 🙈🙊😂

Guys I love you but seriously. A regulator just stood up for our bullshit. Stop ruining it.

🧵Highlights from the UN Security Council's 2023 report on DPRK

This one was a whopping 615 pages 😳

These reports are always like a birds eye view of random, raw, deep intel. They're amazing and shed light on attribution, irl banking networks, etc.

Looks like 2024 is going to be another year of handing DPRK billions of dollars on a silver platter. 🙄

When it comes to financial crime, money laundering, etc. everyone goes thru a phase of thinking that the solution is knowing the identity of the account holder.

"if only we knew who moved these assets! then we would be able to catch them and stop crime!"

N O . twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Literally NO.

It doesn't work at any scale. It's never worked at any scale. It never will work at any scale.

AML laws and all the related shit don't stop crime or money laundering. And it never has.

And it's really important to note that the implementation is NOT the issue.
The laws are *designed* to detect and block people from accessing the financial system.

And they do exactly that. Really well. So well in fact that like 1/4th of the world's population doesn't have a basic ass bank account.

And the impact of this is horrifying.

A thread of misc. interesting things related to the Atomic Wallet hack, Lazarus, and especially what sprawling hacks look like on-chain.

(this thread is gunna get into the weeds. i suggest the other thread if you want something shallow and easy-to-digest 😉)
On Fri June 2nd, thousands of Atomic Wallet users had their wallets drained across basically every chain.

Each theft involved 1-3 new addies. Initially we were only able to link thefts on-chain if they sent gas to multiple addresses.

(green guys are what we put alerts on first) Image
The lack of consolidation means the majority of addresses collected so far came direct from users sharing their info w/ folks like @zachxbt or w/ Atomic, @elliptic, @SlowMist, etc.

We have no idea how complete our lists are currently, or how long the long tail will be.

⚠️ Heads up y'all—we're seen a huge increase in the # of ultra-targeted spearphishes lately.

The most deadly one? A Google Doc share that appears to come from *someone you know* about *something you're interested in*

It won’t be flagged and looks super legit.

DO NOT CLICK! 🙏 Image
This campaign is the work of #Lazarus / #APT38 / #DangerousPassword / #T444

aka the same crew that compromised Ronin, Harmony, bZx, Bondly, EasyFi, mngr, Arthur0x, Hugh Karp, etc. etc. etc.

Their spear-phishing methods are diverse, targetted, and hard-to-detect. Image
