North Korea: After last week’s development that North Korean hackers appeared to have recruited native English speakers, the US Army published a new report on North Korean tactics. The report is an overview of both traditional military domains and cyber tactics utilized by various groups within North Korea. Of interest, the report specifically called out that North Korea’s hacking division, known as Bureau 121, employs at least 6,000 hackers located in multiple nations around the world. The report also details which groups operate within Bureau 121 and what each group is responsible for according to the US Army’s monitoring and understanding of North Korea’s cyber-operations. The assessment of 6,000 hackers was believed to have been accurate by both the US Army and the South Korean Defense Ministry back in 2015, but it is likely to be much higher now. It was believed that as of 2009, North Korea’s Mirim College was graduating approximately 100 hackers per year.
