North Korean Hackers Use LayerZero in $293M Kelp DAO Theft

North Korean hackers stole $293 million from Kelp DAO by compromising an application built on LayerZero. The attackers later used LayerZero again to move part of the stolen funds across blockchains, making it the first documented case in which the same app was used for both the exploit and part of the laundering. Onchain records show at least $500,000 moved through LayerZero. Arbitrum’s Security Council took back about $71 million that North Korean operatives had sent to the blockchain.
