I lived in South Korea for a little while a few years ago and knew someone who worked at an NGO that dealt with North Korean refugees. Her Facebook got hacked and had a bunch of porn posted on it. She said that N.K. did that type of thing regularly to people like her just to let them know they were being watched and to try to keep them feeling uneasy.

Are there S.K. hackers who fight back? Somehow to allow N.K. residents to have access to actual news rather than communist propaganda?

I’m no expert, but I remember hearing about some groups floating balloons with USB drives full of info over the border.

North Korean internet is incredibly closed off, making attacks over the internet nearly impossible. Access to news and media from outside North Korea is done using old school methods of getting physical media over the border

In terms of offensive security capabilities, North Korea does very well for their size and lack of digital infrastructure

They certainly just used a credential stuffing attack in that case though. A good reminder never to reuse passwords, and not make them easily guessable

I sat in on a cyber security talk for my company. One of the things that the expert said is that NK has aptitude tests. If the children score well, they remove the child from the home and place them in a dorm and teach them to hack. As they grow, they do it for the government, but they are also allowed to freelance on their own, so they sometimes sell their work outside.

It was all really frightening.

Or blast K Pop at the border wall? I just wish we had the tech for peaceful revolution to destroy their government without destroying their people. Evil Emperor Kim Jong-un must end his reign of terror.

No wonder tRump and Kim "Loved" each other; Both grifters and cheats.

Should just cut nk, china and Russia off the internet completely.
