G7 leaders are set to address North Korea's cyber activities, particularly its use of cryptocurrency hacks to fund its weapons programs, at the upcoming summit in June. Discussions will focus on the alarming rise in North Korean cyber operations, which have reportedly stolen billions through sophisticated hacking activities, including notable breaches like those of Axie Infinity and Bybit. Officials are worried about the regime's growing ties with Russia and the potential for increased cyber threats. Investigations have revealed that North Korea utilizes stolen cryptocurrency to support its development of weapons of mass destruction. The summit, hosted by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in Alberta, will gather leaders from the world's seven largest economies to discuss this critical issue amidst increasing geopolitical tensions.
