- A pirate stole sensitive Kimsuky files and newspapers
- They say that the group is “morally perverted” and hacks for “all bad reasons”
- But the flight will not dismantle the group, some support
Kimsuky, an actor of North Korean threat sponsored by the state, was hacked by someone who claims to be a cybercrimiral but rather – an “artist”.
The database is 8.9 GB and can be found on the “Distributed Denial of Secrets” website, containing newspapers, tools and infrastructure used by the group, exhibiting their tactics, techniques and procedures.
Transport contains phishing newspapers showing an attack on the command of defense counterintelligence (South Korean Safety Agency for Military Intelligence), various targeted areas, archives with the complete source of the electronic mail mail platform from the South Korea Foreign Ministry (including the web card, the administrator and other modules), a list of South-Korean University Teachers For the construction of phishing sites, Cobalt Strakedeals and more.
Greed by greed
Kimsuky is known for its cyber-espionage campaigns. The group’s first observations were back in 2012, and since then, numerous attacks against government agencies, reflection groups, research institutions and the media has been credited. It is particularly focused on the affairs of the Korean peninsula, nuclear policy and foreign relations.
The pirate, in saber / cyb0rg, criticized Kimsuky for the advancement of state agendas:
“Kimsuky, you are not a hacker. You are motivated by financial greed, to enrich your leaders and to make their political agenda,” said a letter accompanying the discharge. “You fly others and promote yours. You appreciate above the others: you are morally perverted. ”
“You hack for all bad reasons,” concluded the letter.
Although a commendable effort, this leak will probably not stop completely Kimsuky, a actor sponsored by the state with great resources.
However, as many tools and methods have been “burned”, it could slow down the group, exhibit current campaigns and force it to start from scratch in certain cases.
