The North Korean group allegedly behind a hack which earlier this month targeted Atomic Wallet have now pocketed over $100 million in stolen crypto, blockchain analytics firm Elliptic said today. 

Cybercriminals hacked self-custodial, decentralized Atomic Wallet on June 3, taking at the time $35 million-worth of digital tokens. 

Elliptic attributed the attack to cybercrime syndicate Lazarus Group, which is believed to have stolen over $2 billion in its prolific hacking. 

The amount stolen has now increased nearly threefold—and Atomic Wallet is yet to give customers an explanation, Elliptic said in a Tuesday blog post.

Estonia-based Atomic Wallet, which lets customers store cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, last tweeted about the hack on June 7, saying it had contracted blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis to trace the stolen funds. The Atomic Wallet team doesn’t appear to have communicated at all over its Twitter account since sending that tweet.
