AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoCybercrime & Finance: CrowdStrike says North Korea’s “Famous Chollima” drove 47% of state-backed tech-sector intrusions from Apr 2025 to May 2026, using AI deepfakes and stolen IDs to pose as remote IT workers, then stealing IP and crypto (about $2B stolen in 2025) to fund the regime and extort targets. China–North Korea Business & Security: China’s Xi Jinping’s rare Pyongyang visit (June 8-9) focused on deepening ties while avoiding denuclearisation talk, with analysts reading it as Beijing trying to keep tabs on a more confident Kim as military cooperation with Russia grows. Sanctions & Regional Pressure: South Korea and the EU issued a joint statement condemning illegal North Korea–Russia military cooperation and urged full compliance with the NPT. Food Prices in North Korea: Daily NK reports rice and corn prices hit sharp highs in Pyongyang markets—rice up 22.2% to 38,500 won/kg and corn up 53.9% to 13,700 won/kg—worsening the lean-season burden on low-income households.
