Title: Police officially link N. Korea to 2019 cryptocurrency heist from S. Korea's Upbit
Thank you for joining us. I'm Yoon Jung-min.
We begin with authorities here having confirmed a sizeable cryptocurrency theft by North Korean hackers in 2019.
It could have been used to fund the regime's illicit weapons development.
Kim Jung-sil reports.
South Korean police have for the first time, officially pointed at North Korea as the culprit of a 2019 cryptocurrency heist.
In November 2019, North Korean hackers stole 342,000 Ethereum - worth 58 billion won at the time - from the South Korean exchange Upbit.
Today, that value is estimated at over 1.49 trillion won or just over a billion U.S. dollars.
According to the Korean National Police Agency on Thursday, investigators identified two North Korean hacker groups - Lazarus and Andariel - as responsible for the breach.
The conclusion comes from evidence gathered through IP addresses, cryptocurrency tracking, and cooperation with the FBI.
Police also uncovered traces of the North Korean phrase "heolhan il," meaning "unimportant matter," on a computer used in the attack.
Police stated that 57% of the stolen Ethereum was exchanged for Bitcoin through three exchange sites, while the rest was laundered through 51 foreign exchanges.
Although the exact use of the funds remains unclear, it is suspected that they may have gone to fund North Korea's nuclear or missile programs, as previously reported by the UN and foreign governments.
After four years of legal and diplomatic efforts, South Korea-in collaboration with Swiss authorities-reclaimed 4.8 Bitcoin valued at 600 million won, which was returned to Upbit last month.
The authorities continue to work on recovering the remaining stolen assets and strengthening efforts to prevent future cybercrime.

Title: Highly enriched uranium production facility Kim visited in mid-Sept. appears to be Kangson complex: IAEA
The UN nuclear watchdog chief says the uranium enrichment facility in North Korea which Kim Jong-un recently visited appears to be an unreported one at the Kangson complex as the regime accelerates developing its nuclear program.
Kim Bo-kyoung explains in detail.
The IAEA chief stated that the highly enriched uranium production facility North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited in September appears to be an undeclared facility at the Kangson complex near Pyongyang.
Director General Rafael Grossi made this remark at an IAEA board meeting in Vienna, Austria, on Wednesday.
Referring to images published through Pyongyang's state media that showed centrifuge cascades and other infrastructure, the nuclear watchdog said these were consistent with the layout of a centrifuge enrichment facility, along with the structure of the main building of the Kangson complex and its newly constructed annex.
Previously on September 13th, the KCNA reported Kim inspected the site that can produce weapons-grade nuclear material, revealing the highly enriched uranium production facility, though its exact location was not specified.
This marked the first time the regime has unveiled a nuclear facility directly through its media, since November 2010, when Pyongyang showed a facility with two-thousand centrifuges to U.S. nuclear physicist Siegfried Hecker and his team.
The IAEA said such a display of an undeclared enrichment facility at Kangson and the call “to further strengthen the foundation for producing weapons-grade nuclear material” are of serious concern.
Grossi added that there are indications that the centrifuge enrichment facility at the Yongbyon nuclear complex also continues to operate.
Intermittent activity continues at the experimental light-water reactor there said the IAEA chief, which aligns with ongoing commissioning processes.
The 5MW reactor at Yongbyon was not operating between mid-August and mid-October, which experts at the nuclear watchdog believe gave the North enough time to refuel the reactor and start its seventh operational cycle.
Regarding the Punggye-ri nuclear test site in Hamgyongbuk-do Province, it remains prepared for a nuclear test, with no major changes so far.
Stating that such a revelation of undeclared enrichment facilities, and the ongoing commissioning of the light-water reactor were clear violations of UN Security Council resolutions, Grossi urged Pyongyang to fu
