Chainalysis reports that North Korean state-affiliated hackers stole $1.34 billion in cryptocurrency across 47 incidents in 2024, accounting for 61% of that year’s crypto thefts; major incidents include the DMM Bitcoin and WazirX heists. The analysis finds private key compromises caused the largest share of losses, notes increased frequency of DPRK attacks (including many lower-value breaches), and warns of continued risk to DeFi and centralized crypto platforms.
