Google Report: North Korean IT Technicians Have Infiltrated UK Cryptocurrency Project

April 2nd news, according to Cointelegraph, the latest report from Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) shows that IT technicians associated with North Korea are expanding their infiltration targets to blockchain companies outside of the United States. As U.S. regulatory scrutiny intensifies, these tech spies have infiltrated British cryptocurrency projects.

The report points out that although the United States is still the main target, increasingly strict employment reviews are forcing North Korean IT personnel to seek jobs in non-U.S. companies. These individuals build a global operation network by forging identities, and their penetration range covers traditional network development and blockchain applications such as Solana and Anchor smart contracts.
