According to ChainCatcher, The Telegraph reported that the UK-registered cryptocurrency platform Lykke was forced to cease operations and liquidate in March this year after hackers stole approximately £17 million (about $22.8 million) in Bitcoin and Ethereum. The UK Treasury’s OFSI reported that the hackers were linked to North Korea’s Lazarus Group, and the stolen funds were used to support military and nuclear projects.
