South Korea flags 4.4 million access attempts from North Korean IP range targeting financial firms

  • —The 175.45.176.0/22 range is mostly assigned to North Korea
  • —Roughly 4,404,101 scanning attempts were detected
  • —Firms were told to tighten monitoring and review access logs
  • —No actual intrusions or losses have been confirmed
Why it matters: Korean crypto exchanges sit in the risk zone, since scanning often precedes an attack, though IP addresses alone cannot attribute the actor.
