The hackers stole more cryptocurrency in one attack than all the funds stolen by North Korean cyber criminals in 2024, when the rogue state’s cyber attackers made off with around $1.3bn in digital coins, according to cryptocurrency analysts Chainalysis.

Why would they need to hide it?

That's a good point, but I'm not sure that's in crypto's favor. Since we know who now owns the stolen crypto, would someone buy it from them? Who is going to honor it? So, does the exchange just go defunct and everyone is out, or....?
