North Korean hackers are suspected of stealing over $35 million from cryptocurrency service Atomic Wallet. This is part of a series of hacks linked to North Korea that fund the regime's weapons programs. Atomic Wallet reported a small number of affected users but did not disclose the stolen amount or the culprits.Experts believe the hackers' methods align with previous North Korean attacks. The Biden administration considers countering these activities a national security priority, as they reportedly fund about half of North Korea's missile program. The FBI has been requested to comment on the hack.
