Often described as North Korea’s version of the CIA, the RGB combines espionage, cyber warfare, special operations forces, assassinations, sabotage, and covert action under a single organization. But unlike most intelligence services, the RGB also controls massive special operations units and some of the world’s most aggressive state-sponsored hackers.In this video, we break down the history of North Korea’s shadowy spy agency and examine how it evolved from Cold War infiltration missions into a global covert operations network. From kidnappings in Japan and political assassinations overseas to cyberattacks against major corporations and military targets, the RGB has built a reputation for ruthless efficiency and extreme secrecy.We also explore the surprising role North Korean intelligence is playing in the war in Ukraine. Why was RGB Director Ri Chang Ho personally overseeing North Korean activities in Russia? What lessons are North Korean special forces learning from modern drone warfare? And how could those lessons be applied to a future conflict on the Korean Peninsula?Along the way, we examine North Korea’s elite Storm Corps, covert infiltration tactics, sleeper agents, cybercrime operations, cryptocurrency theft, and the famous assassination of Kim Jong-nam using VX nerve agent. We also look at newly released reporting that provides one of the clearest pictures yet of how the RGB operates behind the scenes.As tensions continue to rise between North Korea, South Korea, the United States, and their allies, understanding the Reconnaissance General Bureau may provide a glimpse into how future conflicts will be fought—not just with missiles and tanks, but through espionage, cyber warfare, sabotage, and covert action.
