The total take for the Lazarus hackers was over 400,000 ETH and stETH valued at about $1.5 billion in total. The public report of the crypto theft triggered a wave of about 580,000 withdrawal requests. Bybit says that it has weathered that bank run.
The Lazarus hackers are generally in pursuit of profit. But in this case, the main interest appears to be cyber espionage. A report indicates that the group is targeting the Log4j vulnerability in energy companies.
