This attack does seem to be on the simpler side technically.
NK recruits their hackers straight from the elite-ish high schools, trains them in computer science, and send them abroad with the objective to earn money through any technical means. How exactly they do it is pretty much up to them.
I can highly recommend the podcast "The Lazarus Heist" if you want to know more about NKs state hacking ventures: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w13xtvg9
