I think even using AI agent under sophisticated op-sec and the required compute and resources and expertise don't exist in NK to pull of this heist. It requires a sophistication that North Korea's simply isn't able to provide even the education for.

Even with advanced agent frameworks, this level of attack is beyond their capabilities. Stuxnet level sophistication was shown to be only possible for Israel and the USA in co-operation.

But why would a nation like the USA attack a company whose CEO they have just pardoned and that endorses crypto and crypto-stocks that much as of now?

Israel on the contrary needs new artillery and money to support their wars to be continued. The offensives they want to continue against all their neighbors cost a lot of money. But I want to be careful here, since there's proof required. The question now is howto follow the money? I think we need our hacker friends to watch the money-flow: Jim Browning, Pierogi/Scammer Payback, Ryan Montgomery/Zero Day. Curious who else would be best to doxx and find out the truth.
