Chainalysis' Public Key episode previewed findings from the 2023 Crypto Crime Report, emphasizing that 2022 saw record DeFi hacking alongside abnormal declines in ransomware payments. Kim Grauer discussed how pig-butchering and investment scams, NFT and web3 crime, dormant illicit wallets, and the collapse of major crypto firms shaped the threat landscape. The excerpt attributes increased hacking to vulnerable DeFi and web3 targets with exploitable code, while noting that scams and ransomware were influenced by broader market and world events. This is a general crypto-crime trend source rather than a DPRK-specific technical report.
