Kim Jong-un’s Stalinist regime consistently cuts off the North Korean population from free information, only every hundredth person has limited access to the internet at all.

“Axie Infinity” is an online game reminiscent of Nintendo’s “Pokémon”: players breed, trade and train cartoon monsters – earning cryptocurrencies in the process. With this concept, a Vietnamese game developer temporarily attracted a million players – and the state hackers of North Korea, who stole $620 million in one of the largest crypto slumps of all time.
