RSN ANTI-SCAM ALERT – PLEASE READ
THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF SCAMS – NORTH KOREA
Last week the largest cyber attack in history took place, and if you saw our post, we were the first in the world to identify the source as North Korea (look for our post https://business.facebook.com/onlineromancefraud/posts/1362964483790751:0).
HOWEVER
Now it has become clear that North Korea is actively involved in online scamming too!
The North Koreans have been watching and learning what the Nigerians have been doing, and have now made a major commitment to online fraud as a way of generating funds for their isolated state.
We now believe that there are about 5,000 North Korea personnel involved in scams.
We know that they are using Ransomeware as one means, but online scams now seem to be originating from North Korea also. We believe they are following the same patterns as with the Africans – Fake U.S. Military and Fake Adult Stars & Models.
This serves their political agenda too, since it undermines the faith in the U.S.
Of course you should never friend any stranger on Facebook, but also never respond to unknown senders in email. The North Koreans are using social media and dating sites in a big way – disguising their origin with Proxy servers all over the world.
So please be careful, as the North Koreans are far better prepared, better English speakers, and infinitely more professional.
Our Analysis Department tracks these trends to issue warnings such as this. But all we can do is warn you! It is up to you to listen.
Be Safe!

Are those depicted in the photo North Korean military personnel or Chinese personnel? For those whom are not aware there is a unit of the Chinese “People’s Liberation Army” that is solely dedicated to hacking and cyber warfare as well. This is why I was extremely alarmed at the willful blindness of elected officials and power company management with regard to the roll outs of so called “smart meter/smart grid” programs. The so called “Smart Grids” are anything but secure, not only do the majority of them operate wirelessly on unlicensed and unsecured radio frequencies, and allow the power companies to shut off power to customers the same way, but the Chinese P.L.A’s hacking unit has specifically targeted utility infrastructure in the past for cyber attacks, I have no doubt that the D.P.R.K (North Korea) would do the same.
