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 In everyone’s impression though, North Korean is a country that has outdated techonology and poor economy development.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.

It does seem a bit of a paradox. Essentially, the North Korean government specifically trains hackers. They find young people with certain gifts–like a knock for certain types of mathematics or problem-solving–and they put them through special methods of training and education to cultivate those gifts and direct them toward various means of hacking. If you’re interested, “The New Yorker” had a comprehensive article about the subject.
