North Korean hackers stole more than $1.3 billion in crypto assets in 2024, doubling the amount from the previous year. According to the Chainalysis report, these attacks accounted for 61% of all thefts reported in 2024. In 2023, the figure was $660 million.

The increase in larger attacks suggests that North Korea is becoming more effective in this area. However, attacks globally decreased in the third and fourth quarters of 2024.

It is stated that North Korea’s increasing political and military relations with Russia may have reduced its reliance on crypto theft. What do you think about these developments? We are waiting for your comments.
