Why North Korea Excels in Cybercrime
North Korea is laser-focused on boosting its cyber capabilities, and it s doing a remarkable job of it.
Although the US and the United Nations have levied sanctions meant to prevent the illegal financing of nuclear weapons, North Korea is proving to be adept at sidestepping them and is also remarkably proficient at cybercrime. As other countries try to hammer out common cybersecurity protocols, North Korea has rapidly grown its cyber capabilities, both domestically and abroad. As a result, despite ever-tightening sanctions, the regime is finding ways to exploit digital vulnerabilities around the world and launch cyberattacks typically through its hacking teams, code-named Hidden Cobra or Lazarus Group to extort money for its banned nuclear weapons development program.

On January 6th, Trump supporters stormed the Capitol Building in Washington DC where a Joint Session of Congress to certify the election of Joe Biden was taking place.
CNN reported that multiple officers have been injured at the Capitol with at least one transported to the hospital.
Vice President, Mike Pence, tweeted: “The violence and destruction taking place at the Capitol Building Must Stop and it Must Stop Now.”
People on Twitter have been comparing the raids to the film “Olympus Has Fallen” which depicts a fictional attack on the White House.
