North Korean hackers were behind the majority of crypto losses in 2026 so far, with two high-value attacks carried out within weeks accounting for most of the damage, according to a new report.
According to blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs, about $577 million in crypto was stolen so far through April, with North Korean-linked groups responsible for 76% of all recorded losses. That figure is driven almost entirely by the April breaches of Drift Protocol and KelpDAO, which together made up a small share of incidents but the vast majority of value lost.
