G7 leaders call for coordinated action to crack down on North Korea's cryptocurrency theft and cybercrime

Comparatively, at the G7 summit in Evian, France, G7 leaders issued a joint statement calling on the international community to coordinate actions to combat cryptocurrency theft and cybercrime activities supported by the North Korean government.

The statement stressed that these activities posed a serious security threat because the North Korean regime relied on these stolen digital funds to evade sanctions and fund its illegal weapons projects.
