North Korean hackers stole a record $2.02 billion in cryptocurrency in 2025, according to a new Chainalysis report, surpassing the previous year's haul by 51 percent and bringing their total to $6.75 billion. The thefts, which accounted for 60 percent of the global total of $3.4 billion stolen, were driven by fewer but larger attacks, including a $1.5 billion breach of the Dubai-based Bybit exchange in February. Experts attribute the success to sophisticated tactics like embedding IT workers in crypto firms and impersonating recruiters.
