The Shadow Syndicate: Uncovering North Korea's Global Hackers Security researcher Vangelis Stykas has revealed the scope of North Korea's hacking operations, which have compromised over 1,600 companies across 57 countries.
This is not surprising, given Pyongyang's reputation for skilled and brazen cyber warfare. However, the extent to which these hackers have infiltrated global systems, often through simple means, is a concern.
Stykas' two year investigation into North Korean hacking operations uncovered an array of targets, including major tech firms like Coinbase and Uniswap Labs, as well as high profile institutions such as Boston Children's Hospital.
