International Allies Express Concern Over North Korea's Cyber Activities and Illegal Workers.

The US, South Korea, and Japan have expressed deep concern over North Korea's "malicious" cyber activities to support its weapons programmes, in comments released in a joint statement. Crypto currency funds stolen by North Korean hackers have been a key source for financing the sanctions-stricken country's weapons programmes, officials and experts in the US and its allies say. Amid North Korea's rising nuclear and missile threats, South Korea's nuclear envoy held talks with his US and Japanese counterparts in Seoul this week and condemned the isolated country's weapons tests.
