**WazirX $230M theft:** Indian crypto exchange WazirX reported a breach of a multi-signature wallet operated with Liminal’s custody infrastructure that resulted in the loss of over $230 million after a payload/signature mismatch allowed attackers to take control; analysts (Elliptic, ZachXBT) have linked the activity to North Korean-affiliated actors (Lazarus). WazirX has paused trading, notified FIU-IND and CERT-In, and announced a bug bounty to help recover funds while attackers swapped stolen assets through decentralized services.
