The US and its allies Britain and South Korea released a joint advisory on Thursday, stating that North Korean hackers have waged a global cyberespionage campaign to steal classified military secrets in support of Pyongyang's banned nuclear weapons program.
The joint advisory was co-authored by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the US National Security Agency (NSA) and cyber agencies, the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS).
A North Korean military intelligence operative, Rim Jong Hyok, has been indicted by a US grand jury in Kansas, for allegedly hacking into American health care providers' data bases. Rim is said to be part of the Andariel Unit, a North Korean reconnaisance and hacker group.
According to the FBI, Andariel has used software vulnerabilities to launch cyberattacks, including malware and phishing, to access sensitive data and information
