- resolutebat 3y agoThis is not new news, and the role of North Korean hackers in cybercrime is well documented. https://www.trmlabs.com/post/inside-north-koreas-crypto-heists https://www.trmlabs.com/post/inside-north-koreas-crypto-heis... https://go.chainalysis.com/rs/503-FAP-074/images/Crypto_Crime_Report_2023.pdf https://go.chainalysis.com/rs/503-FAP-074/images/Crypto_Crim...

- RandomLensman 3y agoWhat would you accept as evidence and would that be appropriate for general news?
- thiagoharry 3y agoMost sources with news or accusations against North Korea do not have much evidence. For most countries, if hackers steal something, you do not assume as first hypothesis that their government was responsible. Just the usual psy ops and propaganda against a target identified as enemy. Of course, perhaps it is truth and they indeed use military funding to scam people and evade sanctions (which should not exist anyway in my opinion). If so, no conclusive evidence would exist anyway, this operation would have a plausible deniability that it was just talented individuals commiting crimes, not state operatives.
