Hackers claim to have endangered the computer of a North Korean government hacker and are leaking its content on the internet, offering a rare window to a hacking business from the strange secret nation.
The two hackers, who go from Saber and Cyb0rg, posted a report for The breach of the last issue of Gooseberry Magazine, a legendary cyberspace e-zine first published in 1985. The last issue distributed At the Def Con Hackers conference in Las Vegas last week.
In the article, the two hackers wrote that they were able to endanger a workstation containing a virtual machine and a virtual private server owned by hacker, called “Kim”. Hackers claim that Kim is working for the North Korean government’s spy team known as Kimsuky, also known as Apt43 and Thallium. Hackers are leaking the stolen data in DDOSECRETS, a non -profit collective collective that stores leaks of data sets to the public interest.
Kimsuky is a productive advanced continuous threat (APT) that is widely believed to work within the North Korean government, targeting journalists and government services In South Korea and elsewhere, and in other goals that could be of interest to the North Korean intelligence device.
As is used to North Korea, Kimsuky also conducts businesses more similar to a government group – for example, for example, steals and washing cryptocurrencies to finance the North Korean nuclear weapons program.
This hack gives an almost unexpected look at the operation of Kimsuky, as the two hackers have jeopardized one of the team members, rather than investigating a breach of data as cyber researchers and companies and companies usually have to rely.
“Shows a look at how openly ‘kimsuky’ cooperates with the Chinese [government hackers] And he shares their tools and techniques, “the hackers wrote.
Obviously, what Saber and CYB0RG have done is technically a crime, though they will probably never be persecuted for it, as North Korea is ratified until its eyes. The two hackers clearly believe that Kimsuky members deserve to be exposed and ashamed.
“Kimsuky, you are not a hacker, you drive from economic greed, to enrich your leaders and fulfill their political agenda, steal from others and favor yours, you appreciate yourself above others: you are morally distorted,” the two wrote. “You are missing for all the wrong reasons.”
Saber and CYB0RG claim to have found information on Kimsuky that endanger many networks and companies in South Korea, email addresses and hacking tools used by the Kimsuky Group, internal manuals, passwords and more data.
The emails sent to the addresses allegedly belonging to the hackers, which are listed in the survey, have disappeared unanswered.
Hackers wrote that they were able to identify Kim as a North Korean government hacker, thanks to the “objects and advice” they pointed out in this direction, including the files and areas previously attributed to the Hacking Hacking Kimsuky team.
The hackers also noted the “Strict Office Hours of Kim, always linked around 09:00 and disconnected until 17:00 Pyongyang Time”.
