The latest report from blockchain intelligence agency TRM Labs shows that approximately 76% of global cryptocurrency hacking losses are related to organizations associated with North Korea, with a total stolen amount of about $577 million.

North Korea's share of global crypto theft continues to rise: 22% in 2022, 37% in 2023, 39% in 2024, rising to 64% in 2025, and further increasing to 76% in 2026. Since 2017, the total illegal profits have exceeded $6 billion. The report points out that these losses mainly stem from two major incidents in April: a $292 million attack on KelpDAO and a $285 million theft from Drift Protocol, with the two attacks accounting for about 3% of all hacking incidents during the same period.
