North Korea’s cyber army has a special cell called Unit 180 made up of computer whizzes plucked from school who travel the globe to launch attacks.
The money brought in by online hacking for Kim Jong-Un is now said to surpass the cash generated by drugs, smuggling and counterfeiting operations in the nation.
Cyber spies for North Korea are travelling abroad to launch their global attacks, relying on better internet connection than is available in Kim’s closed-off kingdom as they operate out of hotels in China and Eastern Europe.
Security researchers have also said they have found technical evidence that could link North Korea with the global WannaCry ‘ransomware’ cyber attack that infected more than 300,000 computers in 150 countries this month.
