Darkfost Puts Lazarus Group’s Cumulative Theft Total at $11.87 Billion

Crypto analyst Darkfost put Lazarus Group’s cumulative thefts at $11.87 billion, tying the figure to a recent attack on Binance and describing that operation as the group’s most profitable.

Darkfost’s comparison equates the theft total to 45% of North Korea’s gross domestic product and 35% of its gross national income, based on 2025 figures. Darkfost also said some stolen funds were lost during later laundering.
