    Cyber Espionage and Financial Crime: North Korea’s Double Threat

    In this episode of Threat Vector, host David Moulton speaks with Assaf Dahan, Director of Threat Research at Palo Alto Networks’ Cortex team, about the rising cyber threat from North Korea. Dahan, a cybersecurity expert with over 18 years of experience, discusses the nation's strategic shift towards cybercrime for financial gain, highlighting the scale and sophistication of their operations. Together, they examine the evolution of North Korea’s hacking capabilities—from high-profile attacks like the 2014 Sony hack to current, more calculated cyber operations, including crypto heists and malware targeting global financial institutions.


    Dahan breaks down how North Korea has leveraged cyber warfare as a cost-effective, asymmetric strategy, allowing the regime to target various sectors, from tech to defense, while evading accountability. With billions of dollars reportedly generated through cybercrime, North Korea’s unique blend of espionage, sabotage, and financial crime poses a dual threat to governments and businesses alike.
