The US, Japan, and South Korea have issued a joint statement condemning these actions, highlighting the significant threat posed to the international financial system and global stability. The statement calls for enhanced transnational public-private collaboration to prevent further thefts and to recover stolen funds, aiming to cut off illicit revenue streams for North Korea's unlawful weapons programs. The hackers primarily target cryptocurrency assets, although specific coins or exchanges were not mentioned in the provided content.
