"Blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis has revealed new data that suggests that two cyber-criminal rings could be responsible for the majority of cryptocurrency stolen in recent years.

While there are dozens of hacker groups across the globe, and many more individual hackers working in solitary, two specific groups are said to be responsible for as much as $1 billion in stolen cryptocurrencies, according to a new report featured in the Wall Street Journal.

New research from Chainalysis claims that two groups, only referred to as Alpha and Beta, are responsible for an overwhelming majority of all cryptocurrencies stolen as part of scams. These scams often include phishing attacks, Twitter giveaway schemes, and much more."
