Crypto e-commerce platform Bitrefill has confirmed a cybersecurity breach that occurred on March 1, with signs pointing to the notorious Lazarus Group.

Hackers reportedly used malware and compromised an employee’s device to access hot wallets and sensitive systems, resulting in stolen funds and exposure of around 18,500 purchase records.

The company stated it will cover the financial losses and has since restored operations.
