The numbers talked about in crypto exploits are in the hundreds of millions, if not billions. I would have thoughts the 'cyberpunks' chasing these would be completely outnumbered by state-backed information warfare groups.

Maybe they are... Perhaps this is the new way the CIA is financing their off the books activities.

You know, it'd be really funny if the CIA had figured out a way to hack crypto etc to make extra money to finance black ops and had successfully managed to blame it all on North Korea.
