North Korean hackers hit a new record.
Over $2B in crypto stolen in 2025 alone. 💀💰
According to new reports, North Korean hacking groups — including the infamous Lazarus Group — have looted more than $2 billion in crypto this year, setting an all-time high and pushing their total haul past $6 billion. Most of the attacks targeted DeFi platforms, cross-chain bridges, and centralized exchange vulnerabilities.
What’s terrifying isn’t just the scale — it’s the precision. These aren’t random exploits; they’re state-backed operations funding the regime’s nuclear and military programs. Every drained wallet is a quiet geopolitical move. 🕵️♂️
Despite improved blockchain forensics and sanctions, the DPRK’s crypto operations keep evolving — shifting chains, laundering through mixers, and even using NFT platforms to mask flows.
It’s a chilling reminder that crypto’s open architecture empowers innovation… but also the world’s most sophisticated cybercriminals. ⚠️
