Credit seems to go to Freedom House and Cheolima Civil Defense... but the US gov oddly enough went after them instead of giving them a pat on the back, over their ahem...undiplomatic action in Spain. Trivia- Spain is also connected to the Scytl rumors.

I can only speculate. It is possible that their operation was not sanctioned beforehand. Furthermore, at the time, U.S. Gov hoped that they could reach a dramatic deal with NK regime. Their operation probably was a thorn in U.S. gov’s side.
