Powerful cyber army at Kim's command. Targeting banks, companies, and stock exchanges

The Lazarus Group, linked to North Korea, has been involved in numerous cyberattacks, including the 2014 Sony Pictures hack and the 2016 Bangladesh Bank heist. Recent attacks have targeted cryptocurrency exchanges, with a significant breach at Binance resulting in a theft of $6.3 billion. Experts suggest that North Korea's cyber activities are driven by the need for funds due to international sanctions. The regime has reportedly trained over 8,000 hackers, often from elite backgrounds, to conduct these operations. Cyberattacks are not only aimed at financial gain but also serve state interests, sometimes in collaboration with other nations like Russia. The FBI is currently investigating the Binance incident.
