Lying Lazarus? Or Are We Just Lying to Ourselves? - Understanding DPRK’s Cyber Capabilities

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) represents one of the most enduring and challenging threats in cyberspace to nation states and private sector companies today. Over the past two decades, DPRK’s cyber capabilities made consistent progress at a rapid pace and continuously evolves with sophistication. Since the pivotal moment in 2013, when Kim Jong-Un declared “cyberwarfare, along with nuclear weapons and missiles, as an All-Purpose Sword (마능의 보검) that guarantees our military’s capability to strike relentlessly”, DPRK has employed offensive cyber operations for an expansive spectrum of objectives. From engaging in DDoS attacks to destructive wiper attacks, political and economic espionage campaigns, to an ever evolving repertoire of financially motivated revenue generation operations, cyber is a key lever of state power wielded to achieve the Kim regime’s strategic priorities.
