Korean Hackers: Emails and Email Accounts

korean hackers: Police said the North Korean hackers, pretending to be security authorities, sent emails containing malware between July and August this year, according to Yonhap, according to The Japan Times. The emails were sent from the same IP address linked to previous North Korean hacking attempts against Seoul, police were quoted as saying. They reached the conclusion after investigating cyberattacks on dozens of email accounts of employees at four local bitcoin exchanges, Yonhap news agency said. ; North Korea is heavily sanctioned by the United Nations for its nuclear and missile programs and speculation has been mounting that the cash-strapped regime is turning to digital currency to obtain funds. The test emails sent before the actual attack were traced back to the North, the report said. Police could not be reached for comment. No computers were compromised and no digital currency was stolen in any of the cases, the report said. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
