North Korea’s internet is a small—and fragile—space. The repressive nation only has 1,024 IP addresses and around 30 websites that connect to the global internet. While there is a limited internal intranet, only a few thousand of the country’s 26 million people can get on the internet. When they do, it’s highly controlled: These select few North Koreans can use the internet for an hour at a time and have a person sitting next to them approving their use every five minutes.
Meh clearly an exaggeration. DPRK does have very few public ips but there is nothing preventing them from NATing or using VPNs.
seriously. western journalists acting like shitloads of us aren't sharing IPs on a carrier grade NAT scheme.
asia hit IPv4 exhaustion back in 2011. north america did in 2015.
Love to censor the entire internet for surveillance or control or whatever only to still end up at "guy sitting next to everyone going on the computer". Like just have that then, that's way cheaper!

It's cute you think they have that many people available to be internet monitors when so many of them are pushing trains.
Fake news. They pull the trains, so they can see all the disgraced Generals' families they are slowly running the trains over. Then the AA guns shoot them.
That's just to build up finger strength for maximum typing speed.

How do I land a job like that?
All right, shut up, I'll let you search for Sydney Sweeney booba again but you got 2 minutes!
Wait till libs find out that internet cafes are very popular in the DPRK. People there just generally don't have home computers.
“This might be the most quick learning-on-your-feet, nimble nation-state that I've ever seen.”
Some of the projects included work from season 3 of the Amazon show Invincible, which is produced by California-based Skybound Entertainment.
Great to know that outsourcing labor to underpaid workers in the Global South is going strong!
"evade international sanctions"
Good; I keep seeing articles that try to explain the DPRK's circumvention of sanctions as a bad thing when it's the sanctions that should be considered criminal.
I remember jokes about North Korean animation outsourcing from as way back as 2010
North Koreans are not allowed to possess or consume western media. They and their entire families will be put in hard labor camps if any are caught with it.skilled IT and tech workers
Animators are now "skilled IT and Tech Workers". So skilled snd controlled they had a 'misconfigured server'. Who is to say this "North Korea stink tank" didn't plant the evidence or know where to look. Why are they attempting to espionage a foriegn nation anyways? Do we want them probing our servers and planting shit?
analyze the findings along with Google-owned security firm Mandiant
What the fuck are you doing even owning that Google? Just an arm of the MIC now eh?
Mandiant is an American cybersecurity firm and a subsidiary of Google. It rose to prominence in February 2013 when it released a report directly implicating China in cyber espionage.
Was it planted, made up, or does Jeff Bezos need to be
for high treason? 
Idk this just sounds like someone
AUKUS needs justification for more billions.US propaganda is getting so lame. Just recycled bullshit so predicable it's a fucking joke.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Korean animation is so smooth, I have no idea how they do it. No one else seems to animate using the same techniques. (Not relevant for this story, since if they're doing outsourcing work they're probably following the process set up by the client).
My only question is why would DPRK do it. Why would it help a horrendous monstrosity that is Amazon
