North Korean Hackers Raid Russian Hypersonic Missile Manufacturer: Report

[toomuchtime_]

Hackers associated with the ruling regime of North Korea breached the computer networks of a missile developer in Russia, according to Reuters, despite the outwardly friendly relations between the two countries. According to Reuters, the cyber teams known as ScarCruft and Lazarus managed to raid the networks of NPO Mashinostroyeniya, a rocket design company based near Moscow. It’s not clear if any data was taken during the hack or what the hackers viewed, though North Korea has been working to build an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of hitting the mainland United States. The hack was discovered when an employee of NPO Mash—which has pioneered the development of Russia’s hypersonic missiles and other technologies—accidentally publicly leaked his company’s internal communications while attempting to investigate the hack. “How the information was exposed was an absolutely hilarious screwup,” computer security expert Nicholas Weaver told Reuters.

N. Korea has tested a ICBM with the suspected range of hitting anywhere in the U.S.

North Korea fires suspected ICBM with range to hit all of U.S.

Officials said the intercontinental ballistic missile, which would be the second launched by the North this month, landed in waters west of Japan.

No, probably not, but Russia isn't giving their technology to N.K..

Really? NK appears to be selling missiles to Ukraine as well as Russia and now NK is trying to steal technology from Russia; does that sound like NK is a reliable ally? Now that the BRICS have joined the rest of the world in demanding that Ukraine's territorial integrity must be part of any peace agreement, does Russia have any allies at all?

Our resident Troll ,Toomuchbooze , is now believing Reuters -- the Agency that prints CIA releases and hands them out to MSM . He is so Gullible that like WinkleTitty he does not really warrant comment .

Yes, N.K. is a reliable ally and they're serving their own national interests. The facts are being exaggerated by US propagandists.

Now that the BRICS have joined the rest of the world in demanding that Ukraine's territorial integrity must be part of any peace agreement, does Russia have any allies at all?

What the Brics deem as Ukraine's territory is to be interpreted. I think it's pretty well understood by America and China that it doesn't include the Donbass and the Crimea.

One would think that Russia is losing the war if they believed you!

Russia's conditions on what will trigger nuclear war, absolutely includes the Crimea as a part of Russia. And there's no reason for anyone to think that it doesn't include the Donbass too.

Russia's starting position at the table very likely will include more now that a safe buffer zone is required.

It is preposterous to think that China, which is working so hard expand trade relations with the rest of the world, would choose to reject the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine and antagonize the rest of the world by supporting Putin's claim to parts of Ukraine.

Wow. And now the Russians are going to make a poker face and say "We don't know why those new Korean missiles are so similar to Topol-M. Look like it's because of those North Korean hackers".

You see, at least 80% of the world doesn't care about Ukraine and it's borders at all. And significant part of those who actually know something about Ukraine (including Ukrainians themselves) wish the elimination of that Neo-Nazi regime.

As is so often the case, not a single word of truth in your post.
