The US Marshals Service, which provides custody of cryptocurrencies seized by or forfeited to federal law enforcement agencies, said it’s investigating a possible hack of US government digital-asset accounts.

“At this time, we will not be making any statement as the matter is under investigation,” a spokesperson for the agency said in an email.
