IT AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS Companies in North Korea
Information and Communication companies in North Korea. Software and telecom companies are the sector most likely to have four holding-company layers before you reach a real person — and it is rarely for tax reasons alone. Staged venture-capital and private-equity investment rounds, plus standard tax-efficient group structuring, both push ownership chains further here than in almost any other sector. The sector covers software publishing, IT services, telecom network operation, broadcasting, and publishing, and beneficial-ownership resolution is disproportionately relevant precisely because of that depth.

Who uses North Korea information and communication ownership data
The three checks this sector's data is most often run for.
State-linked hackers stole an estimated $2 billion in cryptocurrency in 2025
North Korea-linked hacking groups, including the Lazarus Group, stole an estimated $2.02 billion in cryptocurrency in 2025 alone, according to blockchain-analytics firm Chainalysis, pushing the cumulative total since 2017 to roughly $6.75 billion; the largest single 2025 incident was a hack of the Bybit exchange, described as the group’s first billion-dollar theft. Separately, North Korean operatives have posed as remote IT contractors at Western technology firms, both stealing funds directly and remitting wages back to North Korea in violation of UN sanctions, according to a January 2026 report from the Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team, an 11-country coalition formed after Russia vetoed renewal of the UN’s own sanctions-monitoring panel in 2024.
