North Korea has illegally acquired as much as $2 billion in at least 35 cyberattacks targeting 17 countries – so states a UN expert report submitted to the Security Council committee last week. The report cites three main modes of operation: Attacks on SWIFT systems, theft of cryptocurrencies and unpermitted use of resources for cryptocurrency mining. Most attacks targeted South Korea, but India, Bangladesh, Chile and other countries were also attacked.
