Hackers have claimed that a North Korean government has compromised on the hacker computer and leaked its content online, which offers a rare window in the hacking operation by the notorious secret nation.
Two hackers, who go by saber and Cyb0RG, Published a report about Violation in the latest issue of Fract The magazine, a famous cyber security e-zeen which was first published in 1985. Latest issue Was distributed Last week at the DEF Con Hacker Conference in Las Vegas.
In the article, two hackers wrote that they were able to compromise a workstation, with a virtual machine and a virtual private server related to hackers, which they call “Kim”. Hackers claim that Kim works for the North Korean government’s detective group, known as Kimsuki, also known APT43 and Thallium. Hackers leaked the stolen data to DDOSECRETS, a non -profit collective stores leaked in public interest.
Kimsuky is a huge advanced constant threat (APT) group that is widely working inside the North Korean government, targets journalists and government agencies In South Korea and other places, and other goals that may be of interest to North Korea’s intelligence mechanisms.
As common with North Korea, Kimsuky also conducts more operations for a cyber criminal group – for example, Theft and laundering cryptocurrency To fund North Korea’s nuclear weapon program.
It gives almost one-impact appearance inside the operation of hack kimsuky, given that both hackers compromised one of the group members, rather than examining a data breech, as cyber security researchers and companies usually have to rely.
Hackers wrote, “This is a glimpse of how ‘Kimsuki’ openly collaborates with Chinese (government hackers) and shares its equipment and techniques.”
Obviously, what did the saber and CyB0RG do technically a crime, although they will probably never be prosecuted for it, given that North Korea has been approved for its eyeball. Two hackers clearly believe that Kimsuki members are exposed and embarrassed.
“Kimsuki, you are not a hacker. You are inspired by financial greed, to enrich your leaders, and to fulfill their political agenda. You steal from others and are in your own favor. You give importance to others on others: You are morally distorted,” both have written in Fract. “You hack all for wrong reasons.”
Kirpan and CYB0RG have claimed that many south Korean government networks and companies, email addresses, and hacking tools of Kimsuky have found evidence of compromising with Kimsuky Group, Internal Manual, Password and more data.
The emails, who were reportedly sent to the address related to hackers, were listed in research, became unanswered.
Hackers wrote that he was able to identify Kim as a North Korean government’s hacker, thanks to “artifacts and signs”, which was indicated in the direction, including the file configuration and domains, which were first responsible for North Korean Hacking Group Kimsuki.
Hackers “strict office time, always connecting from 09:00 am and disconnected to 17:00 Pyongyang Time.”
