Prosecutors in South Korea have reportedly lost $47 million worth of seized Bitcoin through a phishing attack and are investigating and tracking the theft.

Authorities in South Korea have launched an investigation after millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin seized in a criminal case was reportedly stolen.

Officials with the Gwangju District Prosecutors’ Office discovered that around 70 billion won ($47.7 million) worth of Bitcoin (BTC) crypto was missing during a routine inspection of seized financial assets, according to local media reports on Thursday.

The Chosun Daily reported that the Bitcoin was stolen after a password was leaked externally, with a prosecutor’s office official saying a phishing attack was to blame after an agency worker accessed a scam website.
