In an unprecedented twist in the world of cybersecurity, the recent $285 million heist from decentralized exchange Drift has been traced back to an elaborate social engineering scam orchestrated by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Apparently, the secretive state has been leveraging their new national resource: fiery call center reps who moonlight as cyberpunks.

The operation began innocently enough, insiders say, with a few honeyed emails and smooth, untraceable phone calls from the ‘DPRK Outreach Team,’—a cunning alias for their cyberwarfare squad. This operation was so meticulously planned that even the emails had perfect grammar—a feat thought impossible by native speakers themselves.

Dubbed ‘Operation Kim’s Call Center,’ this covert mission thrived for six glorious months, with the North Korean agents embedded deeper in Drift’s operations than auto-saved passwords in a browser. Sources suggest DPRK’s agents spent more time pretending to be Drift’s employees than they would on any missile development program, putting their social skills to far more profitable use.
