A UN report claims that North Korean hackers have stolen US$2 billion dollars through various cyber attacks. On Aug. 6, the AP reported that a UN report claims that North Korean hackers have pilfered US$2 billion in cash by intercepting financial and cryptocurrency transactions and using the money to fund weapons development. The leaked report, which apparently listed 35 instances of hacking, was submitted to the UN Security Council Sanctions Committee on North Korea. The BBC reported the story the following day.
