U.S. Sanctions North Korean IT Workers Over 'Cyber Espionage,' Crypto Thefts
-
最新报道：The U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned North Korean national Song Kum Hyok for allegedly facilitating IT worker schemes that generate illicit revenue for Pyongyang, including in the crypto sector. Song was added to the "Specially Designated Nationals" list for placing DPRK IT workers in global companies, some of whom exploited firms or funneled funds via crypto exchanges. Treasury noted DPRK-linked groups like Lazarus have stolen billions in crypto, including the $625M Axie Infinity and $1.5B Bybit hacks. TRM Labs' Ari Redbord highlighted these embedded workers enable both revenue generation and intrusions, with operations extending through China and Russia. The action reflects Treasury's focus on disrupting DPRK's financial networks.
