People’s Power Rep. Tae Young-ho has criticized the North Korean hacker organization for mass distribution of so-called “phishing emails” impersonating his office, saying, “This kind of deception won’t work anymore.”
Representative Thae held a news conference in the National Assembly today and said, “The fact that Kim Jong-un’s regime’s hacking organization impersonated my lawmaker’s office and distributed a large amount of e-mails phishing scam to national diplomats and security experts was revealed through a police bureau investigation.”
Representative Tae said, “Through this incident, it has been proved once again that Kim Jong-un’s regime is stalking my every move 24 hours a day.”
“I will not give in to the cheating and stalking of Kim Jong-un’s regime, but I will risk my life and work more actively until the day of reunification,” he said.
Earlier, the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency announced that it had confirmed that emails sent by journalists posing as the Transition Committee in April, Secretary Tae Young-ho in May, and the Diplomatic Academy nationwide in October were the work of a North Korean hacking organization known as “Suki Kim”.
