Analysis of North Korea's Internet Traffic Shows a Nation Run Like a Criminal Syndicate
Recorded Future has published a series of analyses on North Korea's most senior leadership's use of the internet. As the last report of the series, it demonstrates how adaptable this leadership has become in both using and monetizing its use of the internet.
The leadership's pattern of global internet usage has shifted. A year ago, it peaked at the weekends, primarily for online gaming and video streaming. Over the last year, weekday usage has increased while weekend use has decreased (although weekend use is still primarily for gaming and streaming). Recorded Future does not know why this shift has occurred, but suggests that it is indicative of the global internet becoming a greater part of the leaders' every day work.
Concurrent with this pattern change has been the construction of North Korea's new Internet Communications Bureau headquarters in Pyongyang. The combination of changing usage patterns and the completion of this building could, suggests Recorded Future, "signify a professionalization of internet use across North Korea's most senior leadership. This would mean that these leaders utilize the internet to a greater extent as part of their jobs, as opposed to for their own entertainment."

Yes. Note that what "other" countries are is not the same for everyone here. For example, for me the USA belong to that category. I suspect for you it doesn't.

Unless you come from a country where corruption and self-dealing by politicians has completely been eliminated, or you are from North Korea, then yes, "other" countries works for you, too.
So, which is it, Max?
