Oh, *Wonderful*. Another Breach.

Right, so some clowns calling themselves Kimsuky – North Korean state-sponsored hackers, naturally – got their internal documents leaked. Apparently, a disgruntled insider (good for them, honestly) decided to share 191GB of their crap with the world. We’re talking infrastructure docs, source code for tools they *use* (not even particularly sophisticated ones, from what I gather), and credentials. Credentials! Seriously? You’re a nation-state hacker and you can’t manage your goddamn passwords?

The leak details their targeting – mostly South Korea, Japan, the US, think tanks, universities, and anyone remotely interested in nuclear policy. They use spear-phishing like it’s going out of style (it is), and a bunch of custom malware that’s probably been patched ten times over by now. The whole thing reeks of amateur hour, frankly.

What’s *really* irritating is the amount of hand-wringing this article does about how this leak will affect their operations. Like they weren’t already a pain in everyone’s ass. Now everyone gets to see exactly what tools and techniques these morons are using, making it easier to block them. Honestly, it’s almost…helpful. Almost.

The best part? They were using legitimate infrastructure – compromised accounts at Microsoft, Google, etc. – because apparently building your own secure systems is too hard. Pathetic.

Don’t expect any massive global disruption or anything. It’s just a lot of noise and embarrassment for the North Koreans. Though I *do* hope someone finds something truly damaging in that 191GB, just to make my day.

Speaking of incompetence, reminds me of the time a sysadmin at a previous gig used “password” as the root password on a critical server. *Password*. I swear, some people shouldn’t be allowed near a computer, let alone entrusted with national security. Ugh.
