Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

North Korea begins training state hackers as early as middle school, selecting up to 200 children each year for an elite track that grants top performers considerable privileges. This pipeline feeds the regime's cyberattack operations, and Pyongyang is suspected of being behind the record-breaking Binance hack. The system matters because these state-backed hackers are a major force in crypto security and exchange losses.

Muhabbit's AI wrote this summary in its own words from Cryptoast's report and translated it from French. It can get details wrong, so check the source.
