The vast majority of North Koreans cannot access the internet. A very select few are allowed web access for either propaganda purposes — lots of North Korean state media available in different languages — and more seriously, cybercrime. The UN estimated last year that the DPRK has stolen at least $3 billion in crypto since 2017. That’s over 10% of the country’s entire GDP!
