Questions to Consider

Hey delegates we had a pretty huge oversight and forgot to put the questions to consider in the topic synopsis.

What’s special about North Korea, however, is that their hacking is entirely government sponsored. North Koreans do not have internet access, save for elites, so ordinary citizens can’t become hackers like in other countries. Instead, North Korean hackers are hand-picked from state universities and are trained through real-world trials (not just practice problems and simulations), allowing them to quickly become world-class hackers. These hackers form specialized units such as Bureau 121 or the Lazarus Group. For North Korea, cyber warfare has become an incredibly effective way to inflict pain on Western nations.
