South Korea and the United States have started joint research to protect against cryptocurrency thefts organized by hackers linked to North Korea. The countries will develop technologies to prevent attacks on cryptocurrency platforms and track stolen assets. Scientists from Korea University and the RAND Institute, with support from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, will focus on methods of protection and tracking financial flows through illegal activities, including ransomware programs. The initiative is relevant amid the rising prices of Bitcoin, which increase the risks of hacker attacks.
