US Cybersecurity Agency Accuses North Korea of Cryptocurrency Cyber Heist
Cybersecurity experts have linked North Korea to an apparent attack on South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges, claiming that Pyongyang’s black hats used the same malware code that was unleashed against Sony in 2014.
US cybersecurity firm Recorded Future claimed that in late 2017, a hack attack was launched against Coinlink. The attackers attempted to steal the passwords and emails of Coinlink employees, but the attack was repulsed.
Recorded Future added that they analyzed the malware used by the attackers and found that it matched two previous attacks: the 2014 hack of Sony Pictures and the 2017 WannaCry attack on hundreds of different groups, most notably the British National Health Service.
