Hacking group that hit South Korea may be at it again with new target

Palo Alto Networks says it found similarities between malware used in a recent attack in Europe and that used in the South Korean attacks. The malware had been wrapped into legitimate video player software that was hosted by an industrial control systems company. The organization in Europe that was attacked was likely a victim of spear-phishing, Palo Alto says. The same kind of wiper malware also wrecked computers at Sony Pictures Entertainment last year after gigabytes of data was stolen from its network. The attacks wiped data from bank computers, shut down ATMs and also took down government websites.”]
