 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The Lazarus Group’s malevolent activities have not gone unnoticed by U.S. authorities. The FBI had previously issued warnings and cybersecurity advisories related to the DPRK’s attacks on platforms like Harmony’s Horizon Bridge and Sky Mavis’ Ronin Bridge. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control had sanctioned the Lazarus Group in 2019.</span></p>
