US indicts North Korean cyber operatives for laundering stolen cryptocurrency

The US announced sanctions against three individuals for laundering cryptocurrency stolen by North Korean hackers.
The US Justice Department indicted four men for laundering cryptocurrency obtained by a North Korean hacking group called Lazarus Group.
The Lazarus Group has targeted various sectors to steal money and spread malware.
The scheme involved laundering cryptocurrency stolen over several years.
The actions represent a fraction of North Korea's illegal cyber activity, which relies on networks to convert stolen cryptocurrency into government-backed currency.
