The U.S. government revealed that North Korea was behind the debilitating WannaCry hack earlier this year, demanding ransom in bitcoin.
As cyberattacks take aim at larger targets and higher ransoms, and with the price of bitcoin spiking, CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz said there's "absolutely" reason to believe North Korea has an appreciating pile of bitcoin to fund future attacks.
The WannaCry attack crippled hospitals, banks and companies around the world, and "highlights the capabilities that North Korea has in cyber," Kurtz said.
"And what we've seen is the increase of capabilities just over the last three years."
It seems that Europe and USA are way behind in the cyber area.
