Behind the $6.3 Billion Binance Heist: How Does North Korea Train World-Class Hackers? In a video published on November 6, 2026, Reuters @Reuters reported that North Korea established its cyber warfare unit in the late 1990s and expanded it after Kim Jong Un took power. According to defectors, North Korea selects up to 200 middle school students each year to study computer science. The top performers go on to elite universities, where they study subjects including advanced mathematics and cryptocurrency systems. The program trains cyber operatives and IT workers posted overseas. Top hackers can receive housing in Pyongyang, and their units can keep up to 30% of the proceeds from their thefts.
