The government of South Korea is reportedly planning to submit a bill that will track and freeze North Korean crypto and virtual assets that are used to fund illicit weapons programs.
According to a report by a local media outlet, the Korea JoongAng Daily, multiple anonymous government sources confirmed on Aug. 3 that the bill is in the works. A government official who remained anonymous reportedly said that the bill would reflect the president’s belief that the country’s cybersecurity framework needs to be repaired, the report said.
