Recently, the United States and South Korea have become concerned with North Korea’s strives for committing cyber warfare. In-fact, North Korea has been recruiting hackers in certain academic institutions. A former Computer Science Professor within North Korea told new sources that the current regime is recruiting students that show promise at a young age. Kim Heung-kwang stated: “There is a pyramid-like prodigy recruiting system, where smart kids from all over the country – students who are good at math, coding and possess top analytical skills – are picked up to be grouped at Keumseong.” Obviously, North Korea is vigorously striving to enter the modern age in terms of warfare, much like Al-Quida has made strives to enter the tech world with their activities.
