Yes, this claim is true, but it needs an important clarification for precise understanding.

🔎 According to recent reports from blockchain analysis firms like TRM Labs:

• Hacker groups linked to North Korea have snatched around 76% of the total crypto hack losses in 2026 by the end of April.

• The stolen value is estimated at about $577 million during the first 4 months alone.

⚠️ The key point

This big number doesn't mean a surge in attacks; quite the opposite:

• The figure primarily came from just two major attacks:

  • Drift Protocol hack (~$285 million)

  • KelpDAO hack (~$292 million)

➡️ These two attacks accounted for only about 3% of incidents, but they represented most of the stolen funds.

📊 What does this mean?

• North Korea isn't executing a high volume of attacks,

• But it focuses on precise and high-value (high-impact attacks).

• This trend has been ongoing for years, with its share of crypto thefts gradually increasing until it hit this record level in 2026.

🧠 The takeaway

✔️ The number 76% is on point
❗ But it's misleading if understood without context
👉 The real reason: very few but massively impactful attacks, not a broad wave of hacks.
