SEOUL — As North Korea feels the squeeze of protracted international sanctions, the government is leaning on an army of state-sponsored hackers as a source of income.
North Korean hackers stole as much as $1 billion in cryptocurrencies in 2022, a record amount, according to a United Nations report. This equates to 13 times the country’s total exports. Around 30% was used to fund North Korea’s nuclear and missile development, the report says.
