Investigation Uncovers 100 North Korean Hackers Infiltrating Crypto Sector

- Increased Industry Pressure: Financial losses attributed to North Korea-linked crypto crime reached $2.02 billion in 2025, a 51% increase from the previous year, prompting crypto firms to bolster internal monitoring and tighten access to sensitive systems as the threat landscape evolves.
