According to Wu Blockchain, The Korea Times reported that Chainalysis stated in its 'Crypto Crime 2026' report that North Korea stole approximately $2.02 billion through crypto networks in 2025, a year-on-year surge of 51%, setting a new record high. The total cumulative amount has reached about $6.75 billion. The report mentions that North Korean hackers are shifting to a 'fewer but larger' attack model, with the three largest hacking incidents in 2025 accounting for the majority of the year's losses. Targets have also shifted from DeFi back to centralized exchanges and core infrastructure, including a $1.5 billion-level exchange attack in February. Additionally, North Korean hackers are using more sophisticated money laundering methods, with over 60% of funds being split into transfers under $500,000 per transaction, frequently combining social engineering and technical attacks. https://www.(wublock123.com)/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=53933
