North Korea on Sunday castigated a UN report on its cyberattacks aimed at creating funds for its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs, calling the report a "fabrication," its state media reported.

A spokesperson of the North's panel on prevention of money laundering and terror financing made the remarks, calling the UN report a "downright lie" and a "pretext" for sanctions pressure against the regime, according to the North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

"It is a silly act to reenact the method used by propagandists of Hitler fascists who believed that if one lies 100 times,

(others) will believe it as a fact," the spokesperson said. "We will never tolerate any act that thoughtlessly slanders the dignity of our country."

Last month, Reuters reported that Pyongyang has generated an estimated $2 billion for its WMD programs using cyberattacks to steal from banks and cryptocurrency exchanges, citing a confidential UN report. (Yonhap)
