G7 To Tackle $1.5 Billion Crypto Theft By North Korea at June Summit

North Korean cyberattacks targeting cryptocurrency exchanges have escalated international concerns, prompting the G7 to address the issue during their upcoming summit in Canada this June. The attacks, which reportedly amount to over $2.8 billion since 2023, saw a significant heist of $1.5 billion from Bybit in February 2025. Experts have noted that these cyber operations contribute significantly to North Korea’s finances by allowing them to circumvent sanctions and fund weapons programs.
