According to on-chain analyst Darkfost, the Lazarus Group has stolen approximately $11.87 billion in crypto, equivalent to 45% of North Korea’s estimated 2025 GDP and 35% of its gross national income. TRM Labs puts cumulative North Korean theft at around $12.8 billion across nearly 100 incidents dating back to 2017. North Korean actors allegedly stole $7.4 billion in 2026 alone, representing 85% of the total value stolen in global crypto hacks during the year. An attack attributed to TraderTraitor, a unit linked to Lazarus, reportedly compromised Binance wallets and drained $6.36 billion in about 20 minutes, though the full amount has not yet been verified.
