The US government, in its new warning, outlined an aggressive set of countermeasures that itAccording to him, they can interfere with the implementation of highly profitable and often cryptocurrency global campaigns to combat cybercrime in North Korea.

 

Pointing to a detailed list of cyber attacks,allegedly initiated by North Korean government officials, US government departments, the Treasury and Homeland Departments, as well as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), have claimed that the Hermit Kingdom’s cash flow reduction, which allegedly amounts to billions of dollars earned over the past two years, including $ 1.5 billion through cryptography, are vital to stopping the development of weapons of mass destruction by the rogue regime.

 

“We urge governmentsindustry, civil society and individuals to take all necessary actions "to prevent future attacks, agencies said.
