Serious question: how does North Korea train "imposter IT pros"? Are these people working for the government who get access to the www? How do they then develop the skills to be selected as such in the first place? What kind of programming experience us taught in NK?

I think there’s a darknet diaries episode about this

They actually have a fairly comprehensive training program setup through their "University." They also mix in foreign contractors, usually from China.
