Stablecoin issuers freeze $5 million worth of stablecoins tied to Lazarus Group by ZachXBT
Four stablecoin issuers—Paxos, Tether, Techteryx, and Circle—have frozen nearly $5 million in stablecoins in two wallet addresses tied to the infamous North Korean state-sponsored Lazarus hacking group after an investigation by blockchain sleuth ZachXBT. 
ZachXBT also took aim at Circle for taking longer than the other issuers to freeze the tokens, a total of 4.5 months.

Good to see stablecoin issuers taking action against illicit activities. It's crucial to maintain the integrity of the crypto space and prevent misuse by malicious actors. Compliance and swift response are key in ensuring security and trust in the ecosystem.
