"North Korean Hackers Stole $600m in Crypto in 2023"
According to security researchers at blockchain intelligence firm TRM, North Korean hackers stole at least $600m in cryptocurrency in 2023. The researchers noted that this figure represents a 30% reduction on cryptocurrency stolen by Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) linked hackers compared to 2022, at $850m. The researchers did note that if additional crypto heists committed in the final days of 2023 are attributed to DPRK, the total amount stolen last year could rise to as much as $700m.
