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.

Circle's delay in freezing the tokens is concerning and raises questions about their operational efficiency. It's crucial that all issuers act swiftly to ensure the integrity and security of the blockchain ecosystem.
