This is the North Korean hacker wanted by the FBI, Park Jin-hyok.
He is believed to have been born in either 1981 or 1984, and is fluent in Korean, English, and Chinese.
U.S. authorities indicted him in 2018.
He was active in an organization linked to North Korea’s Reconnaissance General Bureau. Among the cases the U.S. Department of Justice accused him of participating in are:
The 2014 cyberattack on Sony Pictures
The 2016 theft of $81 million from the Bangladesh central bank
The 2017 WannaCry ransomware attack that swept the globe
And several other major cryptocurrency thefts
Although the FBI has released his name and photo, actually arresting him won’t be easy.
North Korean authorities won’t hand him over—and they need him to make money for the country!
