North Korean elite hacker unit behind record crypto heist
Original: The North Korean group accused of the world's largest-ever crypto heist is a state-sponsored collective of elite hackers
A North Korean state-sponsored group of elite hackers, reportedly selected and trained from an early age to target high-value victims, stands accused of carrying out the largest cryptocurrency theft ever recorded. The Japan Times reports the collective is groomed specifically to hunt for what it calls 'big game'. Observers are highlighting how the regime runs cyber operations as a structured, state-directed programme.
Why now: The scale of the alleged crypto heist attributed to a state-backed North Korean hacking unit is drawing renewed attention to state-sponsored cybercrime.
