[Report States North Korean Hackers to Steal Over $2.17 Billion in Cryptocurrency by 2025] A report by Chainalysis reveals that North Korean hackers are projected to steal a cumulative total of over $2.17 billion in cryptocurrency by 2025, including nearly $1.5 billion worth of Ethereum stolen from the Bybit platform, marking the largest single cryptocurrency attack in history. Additionally, North Korean hackers have also been accused of recently attacking the South Korean exchange Upbit, stealing $37 million. Andrew Fierman, Head of National Security Intelligence at Chainalysis, stated that sanctions alone are insufficient to counter North Korea's increasingly sophisticated hacking and money laundering activities, and coordinated industry action is needed to combat the related ecosystem.
