North Korean Hackers Have Stolen $1.2B in Crypto Since 2017

Hackers sponsored by North Korea have stolen an estimated 1.5 trillion won ($1.2 billion) in cryptocurrencies from around the world since 2017, according to an AP News report citing South Korea's main spy agency, the National Intelligence Service (NIS).

The NIS believes that North Korea is among the best in the world when it comes to stealing crypto as the country turned its focus on cybercrime after U.N. economic sanctions were toughened in 2017 in response to its nuclear and missile tests. Of that sum, a reported $78 million has come from South Korea.
