South Korea has extradited a 29‑year‑old Lithuanian accused of using malware to alter crypto wallet addresses and steal about ₩1.7 billion (~$1.8M). Authorities say the suspect redirected victims' transfers to wallets he controlled.
Lithuania’s central bank warned that all crypto service providers must secure a licence by December 31 or be deemed to be operating illegally and face penalties. The move signals stricter enforcement of EU rules in the Baltic nation.
