It has also been afor the country which is in perpetual financial crisis and largely cut off from the world's markets. It's estimated that North Korean hackers have stolen $1.72 billion worth of cryptocurrency since 2017.

They also believe that the hackers will not cease their activity just because their efforts have been discovered.
