The U.S. State Department called on countries to work together to address the North Korean cyber threat and enforce sanctions against North Korea.

A U.S. State Department spokesperson, regarding the Binance hack, stated that it is crucial for governments to work together to address North Korean cyber activities and called on all UN member states to enforce existing sanctions against North Korea to prevent it from raising funds for its weapons programs. The spokesperson stated that coordinated unilateral sanctions are a tool to block the flow of funds for arms proliferation, but did not disclose whether the investigation results had been shared with South Korea or whether bilateral consultations had been held regarding additional sanctions.
