North Korea linked to $1M monthly crypto flows

An investigative report by ZachXBT has uncovered a network of 390 North Korean IT workers allegedly generating over $3.5 million in cryptocurrency flows since November 2025. This network appears to be funneling funds through various crypto payment channels, highlighting a sophisticated method for evading international sanctions. The findings suggest a significant ongoing operation that warrants further scrutiny from financial regulators and cybersecurity experts. The scale of the operation indicates a persistent challenge in tracking and disrupting illicit financial activities facilitated by digital assets.
