North Korea is ranked among the leading state-sponsored cybercrime countries, along with the likes of Russia, Iran and China. According to alast year by the German Council on Foreign Relations , the country's cyber activities address three goals – to cause disruption, cyber-espionage, and raising money – and aren't going anywhere.
"They facilitate the pursuit and fulfillment of the above-mentioned strategic purposes, without being cost-intensive or particularly risky. While the initial set-up and development of knowhow and trained personnel is time-intensive, maintaining and improving cyber capabilities then requires relatively low levels of material and human resources."
