North Korea still maintains its denial against his indictment on the theft of more than $ 2 billion in fiat currencies and crypto-currencies. And yet, the rest of the world is not of this opinion.
Since the month of may of the year 2017, after the attack of ransomware WannaCry has infected hundreds of thousands of computers and has asked for a ransom denominated in bitcoins, the us government has put in place stringent measures aimed at curbing these attacks, which become unmanageable.
Recently, precepts most severe have been decreed by the american government to counteract these campaigns of cyber-crime. These measures consist of the intransigence of the anti-money laundering for crypto-currencies, the dismissal of it professionals in north korea, professional ethics in the it sector as well as the close collaboration with the authorities.
The u.s. government supports in this regard :
“We urge governments, industry, civil society and individuals to take all relevant measures to prevent future attacks from happening. “
