Odaily Planet Daily reported that in a report released on December 19 by Chainalysis, North Korean hackers stole over $1.3 billion worth of cryptocurrency in 47 incidents that occurred in 2024, accounting for approximately 61% of all reported theft amounts for that year. Chainalysis stated, 'North Korea's crypto attacks seem to be becoming more frequent,' and added, 'Notably, the frequency of attacks in 2024 that resulted in thefts of $50 million to $100 million and over $100 million is far higher than in 2023, indicating that North Korea is becoming increasingly adept and faster at large-scale attacks. This contrasts sharply with the previous two years, during which North Korea's attacks were more frequent but generated profits of less than $50 million each time.'
