#HotTrends #CryptoNews🚀🔥 #BTC🔥🔥🔥🔥 New York = Riko Sato] On the 20th, the United Nations Security Council released the final report of a panel of experts investigating the implementation status of sanctions against North Korea. He pointed out that North Korea derives about 50% of its foreign currency income from cyber attacks. An investigation is underway as the company is suspected of being involved in a cyberattack on crypto assets (virtual currency)-related companies that caused damage of approximately $3 billion (approximately 450 billion yen).

The expert panel investigated the implementation status of sanctions against North Korea from July 2023 to January 2024 and uncovered methods for evading sanctions. Although the report is not legally binding, the Security Council and member states may impose new sanctions on violating organizations or individuals in response to the report.

He also pointed out that about 40% of the cost of developing weapons of mass destruction came from cyberattacks. Recently, defense-related companies have become targets of cyberattacks, and hackers affiliated with the Reconnaissance General Bureau are increasingly sharing infrastructure and tools.

The panel of experts also investigated the possibility that the Islamic organization Hamas is using North Korean-made weapons. Israel has determined through its investigation that Hamas has dozens of North Korean-made missiles and anti-tank weapons. North Korea has previously denied similar allegations, calling them ``baseless and false rumors.'' The expert panel also attempted to contact the Palestinian side.

Although the United Nations has imposed economic sanctions on North Korea, which continues to develop nuclear weapons, by restricting the inflow of funds and prohibiting imports and exports, in reality North Korea is importing refined petroleum products subject to sanctions and exporting luxury goods. It is said that there is North Korea's trade volume in 2023 exceeded that of 2022.#HotTrends #CryptoNews🚀🔥
