Starting in 2009, a 30-something South Korean man with the last name Jo began traveling to northeastern China. There, he met North Koreans who were government agents. Jo allegedly met with the agents to ask them to develop game software for a cyber attack on South Korea. Those games would turn players’ computers against their own country.
The South Korean man, who
worked as game distributor, shelled out tens of millions of Korean won (several hundred thousand dollars) for the games, which were infected with
w69 slot ทาง เข้า malignant viruses. South Korean authorities state that Jo knew the men were North Korean agents and knew the games were malware,
but still sold the games to South Korean online game operators.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"5915792","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"kotaku-east","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"kotaku-east","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); According to Korea JoongAng Daily, when South Korean gamers played the
