The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

North Korea, with the key support of an Arizona woman, has stolen the identities of Americans and infiltrated US-based Fortune 500 companies with thousands of its own IT workers to access sensitive corporate data and enormous proceeds for the country's weapons program. Exposing this sophisticated crime ring must serve as a wake-up call for companies to enhance their future IT security measures.

Associated Press

Establishment-critical narrative

It's disturbing that America insists on pointing fingers at North Korea, falsely claiming that Pyongyang is funding unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile development through cyber operations. After all, the US is the world's top cybercriminal, long abusing its hegemonic position in the IT industry to spy on other countries. America simply doesn't play the role of cyber victim well.
