North Korean hackers stole a staggering $1.3 billion in cryptocurrency this year, more than doubling their previous year's haul.
This alarming figure represents over half of the total $2.2 billion in cryptocurrencies stolen globally in 2024, according to a recent report.
The hackers reportedly infiltrated various technology firms, posing as remote IT workers to gain access and steal digital currencies.
This significant increase in crypto theft highlights the growing need for stronger security measures within the cryptocurrency industry.
