The U.S. Treasury has taken its strongest action yet against a key enabler of North Korea’s cyber economy. FinCEN has formally barred Huione Group, a Cambodia-based conglomerate, from accessing the U.S. financial system — calling it a “critical node” in Pyongyang’s crypto-laundering and cybercrime networks. The firm allegedly moved funds tied to North Korean heists and ransomware operations, helping the regime finance its weapons programs through shadow fintech channels across Asia.
