North Korean Kimsuky Hackers Suffer Data Breach as Insiders Leak Information Online

Posted on August 12, 2025 by Dissent

Sometimes we like insider leaks, right?

Divya reports:

A member of North Korea’s notorious Kimsuky espionage group has experienced a significant data breach after insiders leaked hundreds of gigabytes of internal files and tools to the public.

The breach, which emerged in early June 2025, exposed the group’s sophisticated backdoors, phishing frameworks, and reconnaissance operations, marking a rare setback for the state-sponsored threat actor.

According to an analysis of the leaked archive, the insider dump originated from two compromised systems belonging to a Kimsuky operator known by the alias “KIM.”
