North Korea has stolen $12.8 billion in crypto since 2017. More than half of that, $7.4 billion, happened just this year. Here is what went down according to TRM Labs: 1. They caused 85% of all crypto stolen worldwide in 2026. 2. Most of it came from the Binance breach, which drained $6.36 billion in about 20 minutes. 3. They didn't find bugs in code. They phished staff, stole login cookies, and grabbed transaction signing keys. The biggest security hole in crypto isn't the blockchain. It's people opening fake job links on work laptops.
