#show-card # Lazarus Bounty ## Overview [Lazarus Bounty](https://www.lazarusbounty.com/) is a collaborative program launched to counter North Korean state-sponsored hacking group Lazarus (also known as APT38 or HIDDEN COBRA), which has stolen over $3 billion in cryptocurrency assets often used to fund North Korea's weapons programs. The program incentivizes the identification and reporting of Lazarus-associated [[Wallet|wallets]] through substantial financial rewards, with its importance highlighted by a recent incident ByBit's $1.4 billon ETH hack where approximately 1.4 billion ETH was stolen from Bybit in an attack believed to be linked to the group. ## Reward Structure - The total [[Bounty|bounty]] is 10% of the recovered funds, distributed as follows: - 5% to the entity that successfully froze the funds - 5% to contributors who helped trace the funds - Bounties are awarded immediately once the funds are confirmed as frozen - Rewards of up to $500,000 are available for high-quality intelligence that leads to the identification of Lazarus-controlled wallets or the recovery of stolen funds ## How to Participate Participants can submit intelligence through the official website at [lazarusbounty.com](https://www.lazarusbounty.com/en/). All submissions are evaluated by experts, including former law enforcement officials specialized in cryptocurrency investigations. ## References - [Ben Zhou's Twitter announcement](https://x.com/benbybit/status/1894397098323579333) - [Official Lazarus Bounty website](https://www.lazarusbounty.com/en/)
