what's so elite about them?
>In January 2015, an innocuous-looking email had been sent to several Bangladesh Bank employees. It came from a job seeker calling himself Rasel Ahlam. His polite enquiry included an invitation to download his CV and cover letter from a website. In reality, Rasel did not exist - he was simply a cover name being used by the Lazarus Group, according to FBI investigators. At least one person inside the bank fell for the trick, downloaded the documents, and got infected with the viruses hidden inside.
>Once inside the bank's systems, Lazarus Group began stealthily hopping from computer to computer, working their way towards the digital vaults and the billions of dollars they contained.

- londons_explore 5y agoDoes having your countries backing help that much? I assume hackers in other countries simply use a few layers of tor and bounce boxes.
- jokethrowaway 5y agoI wouldn't engage in hacking foreign banks if I know I risk going to jail. If my government is paying to do that, well, it's just another job.
