On March 23, hackers later identified as the North Korean group Lazarus, took control over five out of the nine validator nodes on Ronin, allowing them to steal 173,600 ETH and 25.5 million USDC from the bridge. These funds were that time over $600 million, making it one of the biggest hacks to date. Then, the team has to freeze the exploited bridge and stop Katana, a decentralized exchange on the sidechain.
