How can North Korean have top talented hackers? Aren’t their technology and information stuff generally outdated?

Question

I have frequently read news like “North Korean hackers” hacked into a company’s account and stole data, money, etc. In everyone’s impression though, North Korean is a country that has outdated techonology and poor economy development. Their citizens therefore should have bad education.

I’d say that your final sentence is a non sequitur. They can be a poor country and have great education. If someone has me in a chokehold, that doesn’t mean I have asthma.
