`0x40b57c3622c1cbfd699207f71f2de5a8fe256893`

0x40b57c3622c1cbfd699207f71f2de5a8fe256893 is a cryptocurrency wallet address that one published source reports in connection with EtherHiding and unclustered DPRK activity, which no published source ties to North Korea (DPRK). It is cited here from Hunt.io. The report is dated 2026-08-04.

DPRK link unconfirmed Hunt.io ties this infrastructure to an affiliate of The Gentlemen ransomware operation, not to North Korea; it repeats Sysdig's assessment that EtherRAT is DPRK malware and says it has not verified it. The EtherHiding tracker covers every reported EtherHiding contract and wallet, not only North Korean ones, so this value may belong to another actor.

On-chain links

C2 hosts this address pointed malware at, newest first. Dates are when the value was written on-chain, and Transaction opens the one that first wrote it; a row without one is a tie a cited report states. A host whose verdict is decoy was written between real values and is not C2. See the EtherHiding Tracker.
