<p>The United Nations (UN) has been conducting constant investigations on the groups connected with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea for handling cyberattacks over the centralized digital asset trading firms over the last six years, gathering a profit of around $3 Billion.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A recent report by Reuters mentioned unpublished UN documents that an autonomous sanction committee oversees the investigation into the DPRK-linked hacking groups. It is claimed that the bad actors have made victims of approximately 58 crypto companies.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The panel is investigating 58 suspected DPRK cyberattacks on cryptocurrency-related companies between 2017 and 2023, valued at approximately $3 billion, which reportedly help fund DPRK’s WMD development,” the report quotes.</p>
<p>The United Nations is expected to release its detailed report on the issue in two months. However, these groups of bad actors have faced severe scrutiny recently.</p>
<p>Compared to the previous year, the number of hacks/scams and cyberattacks decreased in 2023, although the cryptocurrency sector lost around $1.7 Billion in 2022 in the exploits linked to North Korean hackers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>TRM Labs highlighted that 2024 is expected to see more disastrous events as the older technologies used by hackers have been upgraded as per technological advancement.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The firm adds, “Despite notable advancements in cybersecurity among exchanges and increased international collaboration in tracking and recovering stolen funds, 2024 is likely to see further disruption from the world’s most prolific cyber-thief.”&nbsp;</p>

After analyzing the available data, it is clear that most hacking groups use mixers to avoid the leakage of location and other information.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
