U.S. Army Report Describes North Korea's Cyber Warfare Capabilities:

A report published recently by the U.S. Army describes North Korea's cyber warfare capabilities and provides information on various units and their missions.

The 332-page report, titled "North Korean Tactics," details North Korean forces and their actions, and one chapter focuses on electronic intelligence warfare, which Pyongyang allegedly uses to collect information on its enemies, deceive its enemies, and launch disruptive and destructive attacks, particularly ones aimed at communication and information systems and infrastructure.

North Korea's electronic warfare includes both lethal and non-lethal methods. Non-lethal methods include electronic jamming and signals reconnaissance, while lethal methods can include physical destruction of targets supporting its enemy's decision-making process.

South Korea estimates North Korea's cyberwarfare unit, Bureau 121, has 6,000 members.

    Nah, there are plenty of people who go scuba diving there. That said, you could probably get a VM in there without leaving your desk.

    Millions upon millions of VPNs run domestically in the U.S.

    I doubt that U.S. - Belize VPN traffic is even 0.01% of the U.S. domestic VPN traffic.

    Which 0.01% do you think is being cracked by the NSA's quantum (or more exotic) computing farm right now?

    I think it was Langley that has a dedicated power plant - like could feed a medium sized city - just to supply their compute farm.
