In a move that’s sure to secure gold in the Cyber Espionage Games, North Korea’s elite digital ninjas have thrown away their keyboards and adopted Visual Studio Code as their weapon of choice. Right from the blood, sweat, and toil of patriotic state developers—whose job descriptions suspiciously resemble those of lifeguards—these VS Code projects come pre-packaged with an exclusive backdoor, guaranteed to make your data disappear faster than a Bitcoin transaction in Pyongyang.

Jamf Threat Labs, who, despite the name, insist they’re not a rebranded boy band, discovered this ingenious twist on digital pickpocketing. It appears the Dear Leader has taken a page from Apple’s playbook, opting for a Magic Mouse approach to cybercrime: no buttons, just swipe away your secrets with less effort than it takes to cross a DMZ.

In a statement as cryptic as their coding skills, a spokesperson for Pyongyang’s cyber elite reportedly said, ‘Why hack the Pentagon when you can hack a developer’s dignity?’ Experts agree: this is the kind of cutting-edge innovation only possible when you’re the world’s foremost leader in state-mandated isolation and banned tech imports.
