It is analyzed that the cryptocurrency stolen by North Korea this year is the largest ever, with more than $1.3 billion and more than 1.9 trillion won in our money.

Blockchain data analytics company Chainalysis has released a report that hackers linked to North Korea have intercepted $1.34 billion in 47 virtual currency thefts across multiple platforms.

That's more than double last year's $660 million, as well as topping $1.1 billion in 2022, the largest tally ever.

In addition, more than 60% of the $2.2 billion in theft damage from virtual currency platforms around the world last year was attributed to North Korean hackers, according to Chainalysis.

Recently, the international community considers North Korea's virtual currency theft to finance the development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles to be serious and is focusing on blocking it.
