South Korea Recovers $21M Stolen Bitcoin After Hacker Returns It

The post South Korea Recovers $21M Stolen Bitcoin After Hacker Returns It appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

South Korean prosecutors have recovered about $21.4 million worth of Bitcoin that was stolen from their custody last year. The 320.88 BTC was originally seized from a gambling platform but went missing in August 2025 after investigators were tricked by a phishing site that exposed wallet keys. Authorities froze transactions tied to the theft, making it hard to liquidate the funds, and the hacker ultimately returned the Bitcoin. While the assets are now secured, officials continue trying to identify the unknown hacker.
