Dina Temple-Raston:本期节目探讨了朝鲜政府利用网络犯罪,特别是加密货币盗窃活动,来获取资金,最终资助其核武器计划的案例。朝鲜黑客通过伪装成普通技术人员申请工作,渗透到加密货币公司内部,窃取信息和资金。Lazarus集团是朝鲜主要的网络攻击组织之一,参与了多次高调的加密货币盗窃事件,例如Ronin网络的6亿美元盗窃案。朝鲜政府还利用所谓的"黑客酒店"作为其网络攻击的基地。这些活动不仅对加密货币行业造成损害,也对全球安全构成威胁。 Eric Chen:朝鲜利用网络攻击获取资金的历史由来已久,从过去的伪造美元到现在的加密货币盗窃,其目标始终是获取资金。朝鲜黑客活动与其他国家的网络攻击活动不同,他们更专注于直接获取资金,而不是窃取知识产权或制造混乱。加密货币交易所成为新的目标,因为其更容易攻击且资金转移方便。 John Woo:朝鲜黑客渗透公司的情况比人们意识到的更为普遍,这不仅对加密货币行业,也对国家安全构成威胁。他分享了自身经历,讲述了如何发现一名伪装成求职者的朝鲜黑客。这突显了加强网络安全措施和尽职调查的重要性,以防止类似事件再次发生。
