Cryptocurrency stolen by North Korean hackers..!?
North Korea. This word is a sensation everywhere. Recently, this country's soldiers have been fighting in ukraine on behalf of Russia. While some are losing their lives, russia is burning their data-faces without recognizing them. What can be said about North Korean leader Kim..? He is a dictator. He often conducts missile tests, weapons tests, and military exercises. Recently, a key thing has come out about North Korea. This is the cryptocurrency stolen by North Korean hackers in a year. In dollars, this is a total of 2.2 billion dollars. More than Rs.18 thousand crores. A company called Chinalysis says that more than half of this was stolen by North Koreans.
The stolen money in crypto is being transferred here. This amount is 1.3 billion dollars (more than Rs.11 thousand crores), Chinalysis said. It is said that crypto and other technology companies are being robbed under the guise of remote IT employees. This is the highest this year. Crypto theft has increased by 21 percent compared to last year. However, the highest theft was between 2021-22. Compared to then, it is less now. It has been revealed that the exploitation is happening due to flaws in the private 'key' used by users on crypto platforms. Private 'keys' are having a negative impact as centralized exchanges handle huge funds. The $ 300 million hacking of Japanese exchange BMM Bitcoin is the most serious. $ 253 million worth of money was diverted from a crypto exchange in India. 14 North Koreans in the US diverted funds from American companies to purchase weapons in Pyongyang. It is said that with the arrival of Trump, pro-crypto laws will come to the US. Bitcoin is expected to reach $ 1,20,000 in the future.
