In a statement published in Phrack, the hackers accused Kimsuky of being morally perverted and not adhering to the true art of hacking.

Independent analysts from Distributed Denial of Secrets reviewed the leak and confirmed that the materials appeared authentic and consistent with advanced cyber-espionage tools.

Security researchers have been contacted to verify the authenticity of the leaked documents, which could provide new insights into Kimsuky's operations and methodologies.

Phrack plans to release additional download links, indicating that more details from the leak may emerge in the future.

The leaked data, an 8.9GB dump hosted on the Distributed Denial of Secrets website, includes critical information such as phishing logs, targeted domains, and the complete source code of South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs email platform.

The North Korean hacking group Kimsuky has reportedly suffered a significant data breach, with two hackers, known as 'Saber' and 'cyb0rg,' stealing and leaking their data online.

In total, hackers have leaked 9GB of data from the computer of an alleged North Korean hacker, revealing various tools, logs, and sensitive information now available for download.

Additional exposed content includes phishing toolkits, binaries not flagged by security services, and connections to suspicious online activities and hacking forums.

The leaked information also contains attack logs aimed at compromising South Korea's government and Defense Counterintelligence Command, along with internal documents, source code, and stolen credentials from the hacker's workstation.

This breach could potentially disrupt Kimsuky's ongoing operations and campaigns, although it may not significantly impact their long-term capabilities.

The hackers claim their actions are driven by ethical reasons, criticizing Kimsuky for being politically motivated and financially greedy.

The data was released during the 40th anniversary issue of Phrack at the DEF CON hacking conference in Las Vegas, marking a notable departure from typical cybercrime channels.
