An “easy” shot, he admits
The revenge of this hacker nicknamed “P4x” has been carefully considered. The American was indeed unhappy to have received no response from his government, after hackers from North Korea tried to infiltrate his system and those of other cybersecurity researchers in order to steal their tools and obtain information about the vulnerability of their software. “I felt it was the right thing to do. (…) I want them to understand that if they come after us, it means that part of their infrastructure is going to break down for a while, ”he explained to the online media, adding that he had been surprised at how easily he had pulled it off.
Internet access is very limited in the country, which has only a few websites accessible by a very small part of the population. North Korea is home to the most active hackers in the world, trained by a highly reputable school curriculum, and then hired as a spy to target Western countries.
