    North Korea steals $1.5bn as it pulls off world’s biggest ever heist

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/north-kor...144944458.html

    Question is the walleteers lost they money or the companies replaced them?
    Also is it safer as bank account or crypto account?

    It doesn't sound like walleteers were the ones who lost anything. Towards the end of the article, it made it sound like what was stolen was coins that were in a cold wallet, and therefore out of circulation. If that is the case, then it seems like it would be only the company that lost out.

    Of course, it's kind of related. The business can either eat the loss, or pass it along to whoever counts as their customers.

    In the US, some bank accounts are insured, so one of those would be safer, but there are limitations to that, so which is safer depends on the situation.

    This is probably the most important thread posted to the site and you go and sacrilege it!

    Perhaps, but it sure looks like that image shows very high post production values.
