North Korea’s army of cyber operatives stole a record $2 billion in digital assets last year, fueled by the largest financial theft ever reported—$1.46 billion stolen in a single operation from crypto exchange Bybit.
The attackers pulled off the heist by compromising a software developer’s laptop at a third-party platform the Dubai-based Bybit relied on, and then stealing the developer’s credentials and ultimately draining the assets from the exchange, according to the FBI.
