North Korean hackers may be laundering cryptocurrency via cloud mining services, according to a report released today.
Google-owned cybersecurity firm Mandiant said on Tuesday that a Pyongyang-baed hacking group known as APT43 “steals and launders enough cryptocurrency to buy operational infrastructure in a manner aligned with North Korea’s juche state ideology.”
Juche is the state ideology of North Korea and the official ideology of the Workers’ Party of Korea, attributed to founder Kim Il-sung.
Mandiant added that APT43—also known as Kimuski—likely makes use of hash rental and cloud mining services to wash the stolen cryptocurrency “clean.”
Cloud mining services allow users to rent a computer system owned by someone else and use that computer’s hash power to mine cryptocurrencies. This saves miners from having to buy and set up their own local mining rigs.
U.S. authorities last year controversially banned citizens from using the “coin mixer” Tornado Cash. But Ethereum developers have been working hard on a solution they hope Feds will stay away from: Privacy Pools. A demo to be released tomorrow of the new coin mixing app lets people send and receive Ethereum, the second-biggest cryptocurrency, anonymously. Though this time round, there’s a feature that proves the user is not a North Korean bad actor or some other type of criminal. The U.S. Trea...
Even as APT43 benefits from crypto infrastructure, “APT43 has targeted cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency-related services,” the report said, adding that it uses profits to fund its operations.
Mandiant said it has been observing APT43 since 2018. It is a “moderately-sophisticated” group of hackers working to support North Korea’s regime by “collecting strategic intelligence.”
North Korean hackers have long been operating in the crypto sphere—hacking protocols, stealing digital assets, or using special apps to hide criminal trails. They’ve stolen at least $1.2 billion over the last five years, some of it by pretending to be venture capital firms and investors that back crypto startups.
In a widely publicized move last year, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned “coin mixer” app Tornado Cash because North Korean hackers were using it to launder funds.
In an extensive talk with Decrypt's Dan Roberts at Camp Decrypt in Napa CA in October, Edward Snowden gave his candid views on the Ethereum merge, the sanctioning of Ethereum mixer Tornado Cash by the U.S. government, the privacy shortcomings of Bitcoin and Ethereum, and his view on using DAOs to source tips from whistleblowers.
State-sponsored Lazarus Group used Tornado Cash to launder over $96 million after it hacked blockchain protocol Harmony Bridge, blockchain analysts said.
Formula 1 has renewed its partnership with exchange platform Crypto.com, extending the agreement through 2030 as both entities seek to capitalize on their shared momentum. The renewed partnership will see Crypto.com continue to feature prominently at key Formula 1 events, including the Miami Grand Prix, where it has been the title sponsor since the race’s inception in 2022. The deal, first inked in 2021, marked Formula 1’s foray into the crypto world at a time when digital assets were experienc...
Mo Shaikh, a co-creator of the Aptos blockchain and co-founder and CEO of the Aptos Labs firm that helps support it, announced Thursday that he's leaving the company to focus on a "new chapter."

Building on the momentum of anticipated changes to U.S. crypto policy, Binance.US said it aims to restore its USD services in early 2025, according to a statement shared with Decrypt. It marks the exchange's first major operational shift as regulatory pressure forced the exchange to suspend fiat trading last year. The platform has operated under restricted banking access since June 2023, when SEC civil claims triggered a suspension of dollar deposits and withdrawals. "While I can't provide a de...
