Notably, North Korea only made hacking an industry after it's "SuperDollar" USD counterfeiting industry became too expensive and difficult to run because the USD had a design update that introduced significant security upgrades.
You would think "just manufacture cash" would also offset billions and yet it didn't really. End result, there are way fewer counterfeit USD in circulation now.
