On 24 April, OFAC announced that it had sanctioned 3 individuals for providing support to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) through illicit financing and malicious cyber activity. It was said that the DPRK continues to exploit virtual currency and extensive illicit facilitation networks to access the international financial system and generate revenue for the regime. Those targeted include those with links to the Lazarus Group, which targets institutions such as financial, manufacturing, publishing, media, entertainment, and international shipping companies, as well as government and military and critical infrastructure, using tactics such as cyber espionage, data theft, monetary heists, and destructive malware operations. A large number of digital currency addresses are included in the action.
