North Korean Attackers' Peculiar Interest in Cryptocurrency
Experts claimed that state-backed North Korean hackers have stolen nearly $1.7 billion worth of cryptocurrency from various exchanges in the past five years. Federal prosecutors from the U.S. believe that the Government of North Korea regards cryptocurrency as a long-term investment. Crypto exchanges are suggested to use additional layers of security, such as 2FA, hardware wallets, and storing private keys offline.
