North Korean High-Level Officials May Hate America, But They Do Love Apple Products Like The iPhone
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
The U.S. has for years imposed strict sanctions on North Korea to stop the regime from acquiring nuclear and missile technology. Yet few restrictions were put in place to stop Pyongyang from obtaining American smartphones, laptops, and software, enabling the regime to wage cyber warfare using U.S. technology. © Pexels Despite trade sanctions, North Korea's government has found a way to obtain products from Apple, Microsoft, and Korea-based Samsung to carry out cyber attacks around the world, researchers at cybersecurity intelligence company Recorded Future revealed on Wednesday. © CNN As it also turns out, North Korea's top officials are also quite the fans of Apple iPhone. Recorded Future analyzed “third-party data, IP geolocation, Shodan port scans, user agents, and open source intelligence” to determine which devices are being used in the country. Kim Jon-Un and his top advisors have proper access to the Internet and it is believed there are various iPhones in use today, including the iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, and a MacBook. © BCCL Hardware and software detected on North Korea's network include Apple's iPhone X and Microsoft's Windows 10. Through a partnership with a third-party metadata collection service, Recorded Future said it also found devices like Samsung's Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S8 Plus on North Korea's network. In 2013 Kim Jong-Un was seen running the show with an old 21-inch iMac on his side, probably running American MacOS or North Korean RedStar OS (rip-off of MacOS). © Reuters To get its hands on foreign tech, North Korea has set up shell companies, used North Koreans living abroad and tapped into "extensive criminal networks," according to the report. As Trump seeks to clamp down on Chinese firms such as Huawei and ZTE over national security fears, existing government controls have failed to prevent U.S. goods being exported to Pyongyang. Though since 2002, in fact, the U.S. has exported nearly $484,000 in computers and electronics to North Korea. © Reuters “Technology resellers, North Koreans abroad, and the Kim regime's extensive criminal networks all facilitate the transfer of American technology for daily use by one of the world's most repressive governments,” Recorded Future wrote in its report.
