South Korean police announced that multiple cases of "cryptocurrency-funded revenge attacks" are under investigation. Several suspects claimed to accept orders via Telegram, receiving approximately $300 to $600 worth of cryptocurrency, and carried out graffiti, dumped food waste, or sprayed feces on victims' residences, as well as delivering threatening or defamation flyers. Some suspects stated they were unaware of their employers' identities. The police said that the related cases show similar patterns, and it is suspected that a group claiming to be a "private revenge organization" is active on Korean-language Telegram channels, exploiting the anonymous payment features of cryptocurrency to hire individuals for revenge actions.
