US–China Summit, North Korea Mention: Trump said he discussed North Korea with Xi Jinping in Beijing, calling Kim Jong-un “pretty quiet,” while China’s readout only said the two exchanged views on regional issues—leaving the substance unclear. Pressure on Pyongyang: Separately, the US and Japan agreed to “maximize pressure” on North Korea over its nuclear program while preparing for the worst if diplomacy fails. AI-Driven Cyber Threats: Kaspersky warns North Korea-linked Kimsuky is using AI-style language-model techniques in malware targeting South Korea’s authentication systems, adding to fears that Pyongyang’s cyber toolkit is upgrading fast. Crypto Fallout, DPRK Links: In the background of the same week’s crypto crackdown, Binance Research says law enforcement recovered about 11% of illicit crypto volume in 2025, and T3/Tether/TRON froze $450M in suspected illicit funds—much tied to DPRK-linked activity. Cybercrime Escalation: TRM Labs and others say April’s major DeFi thefts (nearly $600M) show attackers using AI to pick targets and craft exploits.
