SlowMist summarizes how the March 2024 UN Security Council sanctions report used its AML analysis of DPRK-linked cryptocurrency thefts. The excerpt says North Korea's Reconnaissance General Bureau and actors including Kimsuky, Lazarus Group, Andariel, and BlueNoroff continued cyber operations to steal information and raise revenue despite sanctions. The UN report cited suspected DPRK activity against cryptocurrency firms from 2017 to 2023, including 58 attacks and about $3 billion in estimated losses, and referenced SlowMist work on Harmony Bridge, Atomic Wallet, Alphapo, CoinsPaid, and the $130 million Poloniex theft. The source frames crypto intrusion and laundering as a funding channel for North Korea's weapons programs rather than a single technical malware case.
