G7 to Address North Korea’s Crypto Heists at Canada Summit
Leaders of the G7 will confront North Korea’s escalating cyberattacks and cryptocurrency thefts at their upcoming summit in Alberta, Canada. The discussions aim to counter Pyongyang’s use of cybercrime to fund its weapons programs, with a focus on strengthening international cybersecurity frameworks and imposing harsher penalties on crypto platforms involved in money laundering.
While the wars in Ukraine and Gaza dominate the agenda, North Korea’s cyber activities remain a critical concern. The G7’s coordinated response may include blocking digital assets linked to the regime and cutting off illicit crypto flows.
