On-chain analyst Specter has linked the Bitget attack to the AFX attack that occurred in July this year. About $24 million was stolen in the AFX incident, which was attributed to TraderTraitor. Specter said XRP stolen from Bitget could be directly traced, after moving across chains, to funds stolen in the AFX attack. The analyst therefore said the Bitget attack may be connected to Lazarus Group, although the attribution still requires further verification.
