ELI5: How is it possible that North Korea has the knowledge and technology capable of hacking into Sony's systems? Haven't they practically been isolated from the world since the 50s? How can a North Korean possibly know how to hack?

North Korea is a poor country, but they still have a GDP of about $12 billion a year.

That's not enough for a lot of people to have computers, but if you take $50 million of that a year and invest it in a cyberwarfare program, it's going to be pretty effective.

It's not the NK doesn't have access to modern technology...they just can;t afford to make it available to many people.
