Hackers in the Ruins

I find it somehow obscene that in a gulag masquerading as a state, which cannot feed its people, the government has a cyber-hacking unit:

North Korea runs a cyber warfare unit that tries to hack into U.S. and South Korean military networks to gather confidential information and disrupt service, a news report said Tuesday.

The North's military has expanded the unit, staffing it with about 100 personnel, mostly graduates of a Pyongyang university that teaches computer skills, Yonhap news agency reported, citing an intelligence agency it didn't identify. "


Forgive me, but why do I have images of hungry young men hunched over these.
