OFAC Designates Two Crypto Mixing Services Used by DPRK Hackers

OFAC has sanctioned two virtual currency mixing services for their role in laundering stolen cryptocurrency for North Korean state-sponsored hacking groups, including Lazarus Group. The mixers processed hundreds of millions of dollars from high-profile crypto heists, which ultimately funded the DPRK's WMD and ballistic missile programs. This action highlights the Treasury's focus on disrupting North Korea's ability to exploit the digital asset ecosystem and makes it a sanctions violation for any U.S. person to transact with the designated mixer addresses.
