Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic reported that North Korea-linked hackers stole over $2 billion in cryptocurrency in 2025, the highest annual total ever. Combined with previous years, the regime has now amassed over $6 billion, funds believed to support nuclear and missile programs. Major incidents include the $1.46 billion Bybit breach, along with attacks on LND.fi, WOO X, and Seedify, highlighting a coordinated approach blending insider infiltration with advanced crypto heists.
