Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Gwangju District Prosecutor’s Office in South Korea has recovered approximately $21.4 million worth of Bitcoin stolen from its custody last year. The assets were originally seized from a gambling platform and were stolen in August last year after investigators accidentally accessed a phishing website, which led to the exposure of the seed phrase. Due to the prosecution blocking transactions on the related wallets, making it difficult to liquidate the assets, the hacker returned 320.8 Bitcoin to the official wallet on Tuesday. Currently, the South Korean prosecutors have transferred the recovered Bitcoin to a local exchange for safekeeping, and the hacker’s identity remains unknown.
