"North Korean Hackers Target Dozens of Defense Companies"

South Korean police recently revealed a major hacking campaign that lasted more than a year, allowing hackers from North Korea to steal defense secrets. A report from the Korean National Police Agency (KNPA) published recently blamed the campaign on three North Korean state-backed groups: Lazarus, Kimsuky, and Andariel. The KNPA claimed that the groups targeted as many as 83 defense contractors and subcontractors and managed to steal sensitive information from 10 of them between October 2022 and July 2023. The KPNA revealed that when contacted by the police, some of the companies in question were “completely unaware” that they had been breached.
