-
最新报道：South Korea has sanctioned Sobaeksu Trading Company for allegedly employing North Korean IT workers who fraudulently obtained over $1.5 billion in cryptocurrency through fake job postings. The South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated these workers posed as South Korean or foreign nationals to bypass sanctions and funnel earnings back to Pyongyang. The sanctions freeze Sobaeksu's assets and prohibit financial transactions with the firm, marking Seoul's latest effort to curb illegal crypto activities funding North Korea's weapons programs. The U.S. and South Korea have intensified crackdowns on such operations, previously linked to major hacks like the $625 million Ronin Network breach.
