⚠️ ***ALERT***⚠️ North Korea at it again🇰🇵🇰🇵! National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) warning. Despite all you hear about the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) they are very very good at something in particular. Yep Cyber espionage!

This alert relates to a cyber threat group known as Andariel which has been compromising organisations around the world to steal sensitive and classified technical information and intellectual property data. It's said to be part of DPRK’s Reconnaissance General Bureau (RGB) 3rd Bureau. It's targets have been defence, aerospace, nuclear and engineering entities, and organisations in the medical and energy sectors. The advisory outlines how Andariel has evolved its operations from conducting destructive attacks targeting US and South Korea organisations to conducting specialised cyber espionage and ransomware attacks. Critical Infrastructure has long been a target for Cyber Crime although attempts to cripple have now moved more to theft of intellectual property and designs.

I appreciated the opportunity to collaborate with Peter Kant and Enabled Intelligence, Inc on this article to highlight why large language models (LLMs) require more testing to ensure their safety, helpfulness, and truthfulness. This testing requires the evaluation of tone, context, and emotional impact, which are more challenging to test than other types of technological functionalities. We must also understand how LLMs work and how they make mistakes, which are elements that make human testers essential - a fact that many AI companies are reluctant to admit.
