North Korea-linked Hackers Stole Over $2 Billion in Crypto So Far in 2025: Report

Pyongyang's cyber brigades just pulled off the digital heist of the decade - and they're not slowing down.

The $2 Billion Question

While traditional finance regulators debate compliance frameworks, North Korean hackers bypassed all security protocols to extract massive crypto wealth. The staggering haul represents one of the largest digital asset thefts in history - proving once again that in crypto, the rules get written after the crime.

Geopolitics Meets Blockchain

State-sponsored attacks continue targeting decentralized networks, exploiting the very transparency that makes blockchain secure. These aren't random hackers - they're government-funded operations with military precision, turning cryptocurrency into their personal treasury.

The Security Paradox

As exchanges beef up KYC requirements for legitimate users, sophisticated attackers simply cut through digital fences. The irony? Wall Street spends millions on compliance while Pyongyang's hackers make off with billions using basic social engineering and technical exploits.

Another day, another reminder that in the wild west of digital assets, the outlaws are better funded than the sheriffs.
