$47.7 million worth of Bitcoin seized by a South Korean district prosecutor's office was stolen in a phishing attack.

Approximately 70 billion won (US$47.7 million) worth of seized Bitcoin belonging to the Gwangju District Prosecutors' Office in South Korea has been stolen, and authorities have launched an investigation. Reports indicate that prosecutors discovered the missing Bitcoin during a routine inspection of seized assets. The cryptocurrency was allegedly stolen through a phishing attack after an employee visited a fraudulent website. Prosecutors declined to disclose the specific amount lost or the date of the Bitcoin seizure, stating only that they are "tracking the status and whereabouts of the seized items." This incident comes after South Korean customs authorities dismantled a large cryptocurrency money laundering network on Monday. (Cointelegraph)
