Hyundai Group's Seoul operations faced disruption this week after receiving a bomb threat targeting two major offices. The perpetrator demanded approximately 13 bitcoins—roughly $1.1 million—as ransom. Following thorough security protocols, authorities evacuated both facilities and conducted comprehensive sweeps. No explosives or dangerous materials were discovered during the investigation. The company resumed normal business operations shortly after the all-clear was given. The incident underscores growing concerns about crypto-related extortion targeting high-profile corporations, even as Bitcoin's prominence in the global economy attracts unwanted criminal attention.
