Recent reports reveal that the North Korean government has intensified efforts to steal cryptocurrency by expanding the activities of its hacking groups, most notably the Lazarus Group. These groups are increasingly focusing on social engineering tactics aimed at IT firms.
The operations are reported to be part of a broader strategy by North Korea to secure digital currencies, possibly as a means to circumvent international sanctions.
Such activities underscore the persistent threat posed by state-sponsored hacking entities seeking financial gain through illicit means in the digital currency space.
