Between July 2022 and July 2023, the Lazarus Group, which has ties to North Korea, laundered nearly 900 million dollars using cryptocurrencies. Approximately 1/7th of crosschain criminal operations, including crypto thefts, scams, and Ponzi schemes, are carried out by this group. As a result of law enforcement efforts to target mixers, threat actors started using chainhopping techniques to resell stolen goods. These individuals take advantage of the lack of reliable mainstream blockchain analytics tools. Furthermore, in the last 104 days, Lazarus stole about $240 million worth of cryptocurrency assets from several companies, including Atomic Wallet, CoinsPaid, Alphapo, Stake.com, and CoinEx. The research emphasises the difficulties law enforcement and virtual asset services confront in battling cryptocurrency criminality. Read More..

Global Debt Crisis Threatens Poorest Nations Survival

According to research by Oxfam International, several of the worlds poorest countries are on the verge of default due to significant budget cuts that will total more than $220 billion over the next five years. Until 2029, interest and debt repayments will cost low and lowermiddleincome nations nearly $500 million daily. Due to the postCOVID19 economic shocks, inflation, and rising global interest rates, many developing countries are experiencing debt difficulties.

During facetoface discussions for defaulted countries like Zambia and Ghana, some advancement in debt restructuring is anticipated. Read More..
