The Korean prosecutors have remitted 31.6 billion KRW (approximately $21.5 million) to the national treasury after selling 320.8 Bitcoin (BTC) seized from an illegal gambling platform. These Bitcoins were stolen in a phishing attack targeting Korean officials in 2025, but the hackers returned them last month. Authorities sold these assets in batches over 11 days. This incident is part of a series of digital asset security breach events involving Korean government agencies, which previously included a police station losing Bitcoin and a leak of wallet seed phrases from the tax department.
