A hacking gang has been accused of impersonating South Korean officials and journalists in a plot to steal cryptocurrency for the North Korean regime.
According to the Korean National Police Agency (KNPA), the statistics show an almost 30-fold increase in the number of email accounts hijacked by Kimsuky over the previous year. This, according to the authorities, reflects that the hacking group has broadened out its attacks to the broader general public, which were previously mostly targeted against diplomats and security experts.
Social engineering tricks are used in the emails to lure unwary recipients into clicking on malicious links, or opening the attached file, which could result in victims' computers being infected with malware.
