韩国已对 15 名朝鲜人和 1 个实体实施制裁，原因是其从事非法活动，其中包括网络盗窃加密货币。

South Korea has sanctioned 15 North Korean individuals and one entity for illicit activities, including the cyber theft of cryptocurrencies, in its latest move to counter the threat posed by North Korea’s cyber operations.

韩国已对 15 名朝鲜个人和一个实体实施非法活动（包括网络盗窃加密货币）的制裁，这是其应对朝鲜网络行动构成威胁的最新举措。

The sanctions, announced by the South Korean Foreign Ministry on Monday, come amid mounting pressure on the government to address the issue.

韩国外交部周一宣布实施制裁之际，政府面临的解决这一问题的压力越来越大。

According to the ministry, the sanctioned individuals are members of the 313th General Bureau unit of North Korean cyber cybercriminals, who have been responsible for multiple hacking into crypto-money thefts.

据该部称，受制裁的个人是朝鲜网络犯罪总局第 313 局的成员，他们对多起加密货币盗窃案负责。

The unit operates under the Munitions Industry Department of the Worker’s Party, which manages weapon production and research in North Korea and plays a central role in advancing the country’s military capabilities.

该单位隶属于朝鲜劳动党军需工业部，负责管理朝鲜的武器生产和研究，在提高该国军事能力方面发挥着核心作用。

The sanctions are aimed at countering North Korea’s strategy of financing its weaponry operations with illegitimate funds, a practice that poses a threat to global peace and security.

制裁旨在打击朝鲜利用非法资金为其武器行动提供资金的战略，这种做法对全球和平与安全构成威胁。

North Korean cybercriminals have been using illicit funds to fund the country’s nuclear and missile development programs with digital assets.

联邦调查局指控这些黑客策划了一些最大的加密货币盗窃案。他们涉嫌的罪行包括从 DMM 比特币交易所盗窃 3.08 亿美元。

The sanctioned entity is the Munitions Industry Department itself, which is being targeted for its role in overseeing the 313th General Bureau unit and facilitating the cyber theft activities.

受制裁的实体是军需工业部本身，该部因其在监督第 313 总局单位和协助网络盗窃活动方面发挥的作用而受到制裁。

The sanctions include a ban on transactions with the designated individuals and entity, as well as the freezing of their assets in South Korea.

The move is part of South Korea’s broader efforts to increase vigilance and countermeasures against the rising danger posed by North Korean cyber activities.

Globally coordinated moves such as this, alongside sanctions, are important for checking cybercrime and keeping emerging technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrency on track.
