Trump's sanctions do not stop North Korea's crypto money rancor

in #trump7 years ago

 In the past week, the Trump administration imposed new sanctions on  North Korea, but a US senator said the measures to deter the country's  efforts to steal cryptography were not progressing enough.

Sanctions were announced on February 23 and targeted North Korea's maritime and maritime industries. As stated at that time, the aim was to disrupt the country's ability to import and export energy.

Senator  Ed Markey of Massachusetts, however, took over the post on the same day  and argued that sanctions were insufficient for a number of reasons. Among them was the lack of cybercrime elements, especially the steps  taken by North Korea to exchange currency and steal Bitcoin and other  crypt money.

Senator Ed Markey from Massachusetts says:

"Illegal  cyber activities in the country can not be prevented, as North Korea  has officially declared cybercrime behind it, Russia's involvement in  providing Internet connectivity to the North Korean elites, and the fact  that China does not speak of China, which hosts some of the cyber  attacks of North Korea, That North Korea has done nothing to restrict the ability to steal  crypto money, and that Kim Jong's regime is the main instrument for the  collection of revenue for military programs. "

The  allegations that North Korea has taken action to infiltrate crypto  money exchanges have been turning around since last summer, and this  claim follows a series of South Korean-based platoon attacks. South Korean cyber security experts finally came to public with the accusations.

According  to reports last month, government officials believe tens of millions of  dollars worth of crypto currency were stolen by North Korean actors.
