The U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil forfeiture complaint against North Korea Thursday. The feds say 280 illegal cryptocurrency accounts were used by North Korean state-sponsored attackers. The complaint details two specific attacks against virtual currency exchanges in 2019. The DoJ also claims threat actors in China were involved and helped launder more than $250 million stolen from more than a dozen exchanges, the feds said. North Korea is unlikely to stop trying to pillage the international financial sector to fund a failed economic and political regime, officials said.
