"Microsoft Seizes Network of 50 Domains From Hacker Group With Ties to North Korea"
50 websites have been seized by Microsoft that were being used by North Korean hacker group Thallium to target government employees, universities, human rights organizations, and nuclear proliferation groups in the U.S., Japan, and South Korea. The hacking group was using the network of websites, domains, and connected computers to send out spear-phishing emails. When a target clicked on a link in the email, the hackers then, in some cases, compromised the user's online accounts, infect their computers, compromised the security of their networks, and stole sensitive information.
