Japan, the US, and South Korea have intensified their trilateral collaboration to counter North Korea's cryptocurrency thefts and cyber threats. The focus remains on disrupting Pyongyang's funding channels for nuclear and missile programs, with Lazarus Group's 2025 heist of billions through DeFi exploits and smart contract vulnerabilities serving as a stark reminder of the regime's sophistication.
