North Korea hackers trying to steal nuclear secrets- US, UK warn


A hacking group has been hunting information in areas from uranium enrichment to tanks and submarines.

The joint warning issued by the US, UK and South Korea shares advice to help defend against North Korean actors, which it says have also been seeking information on robot machinery, mechanical arms, and 3D printing components. “Their targeting of hospitals to generate revenue and fund their operations demonstrates a relentless focus on fulfilling their priority mission of intelligence gathering, regardless of the potential consequences it may have on human lives.” Some of the most high profile cyber incidents have been linked to the country, including an attack on Sony Pictures in 2014 in retaliation for a Hollywood comedy film that depicted the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
