North Korean hackers have intensified their cyberattacks on cryptocurrency exchanges and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms in a bid to fund the regime’s nuclear weapons program.
According to recent reports, the country’s hacking groups, such as Lazarus Group, have stolen billions of dollars in digital assets over the past year.
The stolen funds are believed to be used to circumvent international sanctions and finance government operations.
This uptick in hacking activity has raised concerns about the security of the crypto industry, with experts calling for stronger cybersecurity measures to prevent future attacks and protect investor funds.
