ChainCatcher Message, Chainalysis' latest report reveals a striking trend: the total value of stolen cryptocurrency surged by 21% this year, reaching $2.2 billion, with over half related to North Korean hackers. 😮 These hackers stole $1.34 billion in 47 cases in 2024, indicating an increasing level of activity in their cyber attacks.

The report notes that most attacks occurred between January and July, with thefts exceeding $1.58 billion. After July, the trend of attacks slowed down, possibly due to geopolitical factors. 🌍 In particular, the alliance between North Korea and Russia seems to have altered North Korea's cybercrime strategy, as the amount stolen decreased by 53.73% since the June summit. 🔍 This change may signal new developments in the future cybersecurity landscape.
