Vladimir Putin's Russia might be playing dirty in favor of North Korea. According to what has been learned, a large Moscow company would provide Pyongyang with a new internet line. The news was revealed by US intelligence sources, according to which the Russian telecommunications company TransTeleCom would begin providing a new dictator internet connection, and it would do so when the US Cyber Command was making attacks to deny the service to North Korean hackers to slow down their traffic and thus prevent cyber attacks in the US and other parts of the world.
The new connection, as it has been learned, would begin to work on Sunday at full speed. Until now, North Korean users could only use the connection provided by the North Korean ISP Star JV, a connection that passed through China Unicom's Chinese company, circumstance, which facilitated the work of the American Cyber Command because it was enough to overload the network to endanger North Korean hackers. The new network, in short, complicates and a lot of prevention.
TransTeleCom, or TTK, is one of the largest telecommunications companies in Russia and is a subsidiary of the railway operator of the Federation. optic fiber lines are placed next to the railroad and, according to a map on its website, on a route from Vladivostok to the border with North Korea.
North Korea has few Internet users. but access to the network is available from major universities, foreigners via smartphones, government departments, large corporations and of course it is available to hackers in the service of the regime. It is also suspected that elite families have free access to the internet.
And yet, speaking of suspicions, the US question is that the supply of a new network to Pyongyang violates UN Security Council Resolution 2375, a resolution signed by Russia and China. But the resolution, of course, can not stop Vladimir Putin.
