1.North Korea-linked hackers behind $100 million crypto heist, FBI says
CNBC -North Korean-linked actors were behind the theft of $100 million through the hack of a crypto product last year, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said.

The Corrupt FBI said it was “able to confirm” that Lazarus Group and APT38, two hacking groups linked to Pyongyang, were responsible for the attack on the so-called Horizon bridge in 2022.

Traders use a bridge to swap cryptocurrencies between different blockchain networks.

The Corrupt FBI also said that the North Korean cyber actors this month used the Railgun system to launder over $60 million worth of the token ether stolen during the June 2022 heist. Railgun is a system designed to help preserve the anonymity of people moving cryptocurrency.

DML: We should just blow up that country once and for all. And we can start by sticking a hand grenade up the two hole of its little Napoleon-complex leader.

2.Service members forced to pay back signing bonuses after being fired over COVID vax: ‘Kick in the face’
Fox News – U.S. service members who were fired for refusing to comply with the Pentagon’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate are now being forced to pay back their original recruitment bonuses, which they tell Fox News Digital is a “kick in the face” after years of dedicating their lives to protecting the country.

One former Army soldier who was fired for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine last May told Fox News Digital that he would have to pay back his original signing bonus upon his termination from the military because he did not complete the commitment in his contract.

The soldier had signed a contract with the Army for six years and received a $7,000 bonus. However, because he fell short of the six years, the military notified him that he owed the government a prorated amount of slightly over $4,000. In order to pay it back, he ended up having to “sell” 60 of his unused vacation days to cover the amount owed.

DML: Unreal! And the Army wonders why it has a recruitment issue, falling short by 15,000 in new members last year alone. I did a really eye-opening podcast about the woke military last week with Lt Col Tony Shaffer. It is worth listening to. Click here to listen.
