🇰🇵🇺🇸Pyongyang Rejects US Cyber Accusations, Threatens Countermeasures North Korea's foreign ministry on May 3 dismissed US accusations of state-sponsored cyber activity as fabricated, with state media KCNA reporting that a spokesperson warned Pyongyang would take all necessary measures to defend its interests in cyberspace. The ministry framed the claims as political slander designed to justify Washington's hostile policy toward Pyongyang. US accusations are longstanding and documented. The Treasury and State Department have sanctioned North Korean cyber operatives and overseas IT worker networks, asserting that cyber-enabled theft funds Pyongyang's missile and nuclear programmes. In March 2026, Treasury sanctioned six individuals and two entities linked to IT worker operations channeling illicit earnings through digital assets. The public rebuttal signals Pyongyang is shifting from silence to active pushback on the cyber attribution narrative, ahead of any potential diplomatic engagement. #NorthKorea#USA @asianomics
