OKX temporarily suspended its decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator to implement security upgrades after detecting coordinated attempts by the North Korean Lazarus group to launder approximately $100 million from a recent $1.5B Bybit heist; OKX says it will track and label hacker-linked addresses, block them in real time on its centralized exchange, freeze associated funds, and work with blockchain explorers while regulators investigate.
