South Korean prosecutors have been hacked for approximately 40 billion won ($28.8 million) in Bitcoin that was seized during a 2021 raid on a gambling website, Segye Ilbo reported. The funds, which were stored across 57 separate wallets, were transferred to a hacker's wallet in just 14 minutes. The speed of the breach across multiple addresses has raised suspicions of a possible inside job. Prosecutors are believed to have discovered the hack at least two months after it occurred, and the assets have reportedly remained in the hacker's wallet for more than five months.
