North Korean hackers stole $1.75 billion in Crypto Assets over 18 months; simple steps could have prevented it.

[Coin World] According to reports, in just over 18 months, North Korean hackers, including the notorious "Lazarus" group, have stolen more than $1.75 billion worth of Crypto Assets using the same "hijacked multisig" technology. During the same period, this figure far exceeds all other losses in the field. However, a potential solution may exist, and it is simpler than people think.

Senior security researcher Daniel Von Fange (previously at Origin Protocol) posted on a social platform suggesting that an additional step could be added to the typical multisignature workflow.

This change will insert an unexpectedly simple "sanity check" between the signing and execution of any approved operations for final approval.
