I call complete total and utter bullshit.
I don't buy, for a second, this narrative that NK would have elite hackers.
Do you guys realize how retarded that country is?
Everytime the subject comes up I can't but say we're talking about the country where official propaganda pictures trying to make believe they have military hoovercraft (as if it was a cool thing btw) are badly photoshopped.
A country with a total GDP of not even $20 billion and which cannot correctly Photoshop propaganda pictures simply doesn't have great hackers. The heist alone would be 10% of their GDP FFS.
What I do believe is that another nation state used to do very dirty things is putting the blame on NK.
But --and that's not a stab at the economist in particular-- mainstream media were also telling us that SBF was an altruistic genius making billions in arbritrage trades and that he'd make the world a better place by being an effectuive altruist.
In other words: I read between the lines.
And I take the "I cannot photoshop a picture but I can haxx0r 1.7 bn a year" with a gigantic pinch of salt.
And so should you.
P.S: how do we "know" it's NK? "Becuz them IPs are from NK". Yeah. Exactly.
- danrocks 4y agoIt's most likely an operation run from China with cover from the NK government.
- kwere 4y agoit could also easily be a chinese operation funded by triads (they are extremily huge and tolerated from the CCP) and/or "dark" chinese political factions operating from NK sharing loot with the Kims. Even if they take all their gifted kids and put them in special academis could they create the enviroment where the necessary critical thinking is developed?

- djmips 4y agoCannot photoshop a picture but CAN make nukes. I think your logic is a bit faulty. It's not written down anywhere that a weakness in something you consider obvious and easy should preclude great strength in other areas. For example, recall that the former Soviet Union had many gaffes that could be mocked and yet had some of the finest space technology that's even still being used today.
