The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warns that this group has stolen more than $200 million in digital money this year alone. These hackers show why we need better online safety and help from other countries to stop such crimes.
Stake, a popular casino online, stopped its work on September 4 because hackers took money from some of its wallets. They fixed the problem in five hours, and only certain wallets were affected. The FBI says this $41.3 million theft was done by the Lazarus Group.
