According to UN reports, North Korea is using cyber attacks and thefts on the Internet to advance their nuclear weapons program. Despite the strict sanctions against North Korea, state-funded hackers manage to raise funds to further develop the state's nuclear weapons program. Many hacker groups are attributed to the North Korean government, including the APT38 (Advanced Persistent Threat 38) group.

Some hacker groups are state-funded and most often pursue goals set by the state, and these often involve obtaining resources or intelligence information for the benefit of said state.
