Wow, they really outdid themselves this time. That’s a new record, congrats to the DPRK for testing the crypto security, and once again showing it’s not safe.
I commented on something related to this a few days ago before North Korea was named the perpetrators and still had users claiming crypto is safe as long as you do everything right and have “safe” private wallets.
It’s so hilarious that they fail to see everyone is at risk of social engineering or even hacks done by phishing links, it’s so incredibly common that millions of people lose “secure” accounts on the daily.
Crypto is absolutely no different, and is so unregulated on purpose that the richest individuals pulling the strings can pull off rudimentary market manipulation that was banned and regulated out of the modern stock market.
And yet rug pull after rug pull, theft after theft, decades later people are still buying into crypto blindly. Gambling culture was a mistake and it’s going to cost everything when crypto crashes the economy.
I don’t know enough about crypto currency to really have an informed opinion but this kinda sounds like bullshit. North Koreans are sophisticated enough to steal cryptocurrency but not sophisticated enough to hide the fact they are North Korean? How is that supposed to work?
