Ayy, let me break it down for ya. The Lazarus Group, them NK cyber ninjas, been pullin’ off some wild crypto hacks, and they ain’t playin’. These dudes get in by findin' vulnerabilities in smart contracts, wallets, and crypto exchange systems. Basically, they sniff out those lil' weaknesses in the source code that developers either missed or didn’t patch up right.
One big issue? **Buffer overflows** or **integer underflows** in the code. These bugs let hackers mess with the memory, inject their own bad code, and boom—they in. Also, some smart contracts be leakin’ gas like crazy, with **reentrancy attacks**—basically, when they call a function and before it finishes, they call it again, draining all the funds. It’s slick but deadly.
And don't sleep on **phishing attacks** or even just bad opsec from the users or devs. Lazarus is also known for usin’ **malware** they slip through in emails or fake crypto websites. They get your keys, and man, it’s over. These crypto devs gotta step up their game, plug them holes in their systems, and test the code like crazy, or these hackers gon’ keep cashin’ out.
Straight up, crypto’s got mad potential, but these flaws be a hacker's playground.
