Previously the regime has denied any involvement in hacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">Elliptic and other companies like Chainalysis are able to track the movement of stolen funds like Bitcoin and Ethereum by following the public list of transactions on the blockchain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">Over the years researchers have noticed patterns in methods and tools favoured by North Korean hackers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">Elliptic estimates that 2025&#8217;s bumper year so far takes the cumulative known value of cryptoassets stolen by the regime to more than $6bn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">North Korea does not disclose GDP figures but the UN estimates that in 2024 the country made $15.17bn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">The worst hack of the year attributed to North Korea came in February this year when hackers\u00a0<a class=\"sc-f9178328-0 jZoZnB\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/c2kgndwwd7lo\" target=\"_self\">swiped $1.4bn from crypto exchange ByBit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">As well as the ByBit hack in February, Elliptic analysts have attributed more than 30 other attacks to North Korea so far this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">An attack on WOO X in July saw $14 million stolen from 9 users.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">Another case led to $1.2m of digital coins stolen from Seedify.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">Elliptic has privately worked with victims on other attacks that cost unnamed organisations and individuals tens, or even hundreds of millions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">The highest theft of cryptocurrency from an individual so far this year is $100m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">This year&#8217;s activity dwarfs the regime&#8217;s previous record set in 2022 when it is accused of stealing $1.35 billion in total.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">As well as a prolific cyber crime team, the regime is increasingly being accused of operating\u00a0<a class=\"sc-f9178328-0 jZoZnB\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/c15wk77zxngo\" target=\"_self\">an elaborate fake IT workers<\/a> programme to bring in additional money and skirt international sanctions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OCT 7 &#8211; Targeting high net worth crypto holders has helped North Korean hackers steal more than $2bn (\u00a31.49bn) so far this year according to researchers.
