ChainCatcher 消息，据韩国媒体 Daily NK 报道，朝鲜当局于 7 月 12 日逮捕了一个精英黑客团伙，该团伙涉嫌入侵朝鲜央行和外贸银行内部网络，窃取国家贸易资金并通过加密货币洗钱。消息人士称，团伙头目为朝鲜侦察总局下属网络战部队的退伍军人，招募了金策工业大学和平壤科技大学的天才 IT 毕业生，利用加密通信和无线设备作案。
他们将被盗资金小额拆分后转入海外加密钱包，通过中间人兑换现金，再经边境地区换为美元等资金。平壤官员发现外币支付审批异常和海外 IP 访问记录后展开调查，最终突袭安全屋逮捕了正在洗钱的嫌疑人，缴获数十万美元设备。该案已在平壤精英和军方圈层引发震动，侦察总局和科技教育界高层担心被牵连。朝鲜此前长期被指控通过 Lazarus Group 等黑客组织盗取数十亿美元加密资产，但此次事件罕见显示其本国金融系统也成为内部攻击目标。
