Chainalysis blog: $2.2 Billion Stolen from Crypto Platforms in 2024

DPRK crypto theft in 2024 (annual total) · published 2024-12-19

Note that, in last year's report, we published that the DPRK stole $1.0 billion across 20 hacks. Upon further investigation, we determined that certain large hacks we had previously attributed to the DPRK are likely no longer related, hence the decrease to $660.50 million.
