The US Department of Justice, which also serves as the country's attorney general, on Wednesday indicted three North Korean hackers for carrying out a massive cyberattack that resulted in the theft of more than $ 1.3 billion, including in cryptocurrency.

According to Federal Attorney John Demers, the hackers tried to steal, including cryptocurrency. According to Demers, the defendants work for the DPRK military intelligence.

"We continue to shed light on the DPRK's global criminal campaign. Such accusations against states is an important step in identifying the problem, voicing it in a strict legal format and achieving international consensus," he said. According to Demers, the defendants work for the DPRK military intelligence.
Earlier, the UN said that North Korean hackers stole more than $ 300 million to fund the country's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. This is stated in a confidential report of UN experts on North Korea, which was received by CNN through a diplomatic source in the UN Security Council.
