💵 The biggest threats to cryptocurrencies in April weren't the bugs in smart contracts. It was North Korean operatives posing as a quantum fund (Drift) and DDoS-ing bridge nodes to mint fake messages (Kelp DAO). Audits won't catch this.

North Korea, accused of being responsible for 76% of cryptocurrency thefts in 2026, protests vehemently.
In 2026, North Korea was implicated in 76% of global cyberattacks on cryptocurrencies. That equates to $577 million stolen in just four months! Between the technical evidence and official denials, this scandal reveals a cyberwar with explosive geopolitical implications.
In brief
76% of global cyberattacks against cryptocurrencies in 2026 are attributed to North Korea, with a total of $577 million stolen.
Technical evidence (TRM Labs, UN) versus official denials from Pyongyang, which speak of political defamation.
Bitcoin (BTC): the most attacked cryptocurrency, with 63% of the diverted funds in 2026.
North Korea denies its involvement in cryptocurrency cyberattacks.
Data from TRM Labs and the UN are damning. It is projected that by 2026, 76% of global cryptocurrency losses (amounting to $577 million) will be linked to North Korean actors. Two major attacks in April — KelpDAO ($292 million) and Drift Protocol ($285 million) — illustrate this trend, attributed to the Lazarus group and its subgroup TraderTraitor. However, Pyongyang categorically denies these accusations. Through its news agency KCNA, the regime dismisses them as absurd slanders and a political tool of the United States.
According to a spokesperson from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, these accusations are used to justify sanctions and demonize the country. This is classic rhetoric, especially as evidence accumulates on the blockchain (IP addresses, money laundering methods). Since 2017, it has been reported that over $6 billion in cryptocurrencies have been misappropriated, which have been partly used to finance North Korea's nuclear programs.
