South Korea Tackles North Korea's Crypto Funding Of Weaponry

South Korea just blacklisted 15 North Korean operatives for allegedly running major crypto schemes - pulling in $1.34B this year alone to fund weapons development.

The cyber crooks of this kind hide in plain sight, working IT gigs across China, Russia, and Southeast Asia, all while funnelling stolen crypto back to their government.

With blockchain hacks reportedly covering 40% of North Korea’s WMD budget, South Korea has signalled it will take serious action to tackle the exploits.
