Indian crypto platform WazirX confirms $230 million stolen during cyberattack

WazirX, a major India-based crypto exchange, suffered a security breach resulting in over $230 million in cryptocurrency being stolen. Blockchain security firms observed large outflows and token swaps, and attribution analysis points to North Korea–linked actors (potentially the Lazarus Group). WazirX halted withdrawals, initiated an investigation, and reported efforts to block deposits and recover funds, while the incident highlights ongoing large-scale exploitation of crypto platforms.
