U.S. Accuses DPRK Hackers of Stealing Millions

The feds have expanded the list of financial and political hacking crimes they allege are linked to Lazarus Group and North Korea. An alleged Lazarus Group accomplice, a Canadian-American citizen now in custody, is planning to plead guilty to money laundering. The three main suspects, all for now believed by the FBI to be residing in North Korea and remaining beyond the range of U.S. law enforcement, are wanted in connection with a range of alleged crimes. These include the 2017 WannaCry cyberattacks; the 2014 data breach of Sony Pictures Entertainment; stealing and extorting more than $1.3 billion of money and cryptocurrency from financial institutions.
