Crypto Industry News:

Nearly $ 2 billion, so much according to the United Nations (UN) North Korea stole by hacking banks and cryptocurrency exchanges.

In a confidential report obtained by the mainstream media, the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council stated that hackers constitute a significant part of government funds:

"Cybercriminals from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, many operating under the direction of the General Recognition Bureau, raise money for weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs, and total revenues from this account are estimated at two billion dollars," reads a UN report

North Korea is very often one of the first suspects in the case of hacker attacks on cryptocurrency exchanges, especially those located in nearby Asian countries. It is due to the so-called Lazarus Group, which brings together the best specialists from North Korean universities.

According to North Korean deserter Kim Heung-Kwang, a former computer science professor at the Hamheung University of Computer Technology, there are at least 7,000 hackers (from the Lazarus group) in North Korea, overseen by the national intelligence agency Reconnaissance General Bureau. They specialize in cybercrime, but they can also mine cryptocurrencies.
