Golden Finance reports that, according to the latest report from blockchain intelligence agency TRM Labs, approximately 76% of global cryptocurrency hacking losses in the first four months of 2026 are related to North Korean affiliated organizations, with a total stolen amount of about $577 million. North Korea’s share in global crypto thefts continues to rise: 22% in 2022, 37% in 2023, 39% in 2024, 64% in 2025, and further increased to 76% in 2026. Since 2017, the cumulative illegal gains have exceeded $6 billion.
The report points out that these losses mainly stem from two major events in April: a $292 million attack on KelpDAO and a $285 million theft from Drift Protocol, with these two attacks accounting for about 3% of all hacking incidents during the same period.
