South Korea Blames North Korean Hackers For Stealing Bitcoin !
North Korean State-Sponsored Hackers Attacked Four Virtual Currency Exchanges in Seoul- Report Reveals.
North Korea is being held responsible for conducting cyber-attacks against South Korean virtual currency exchanges. According to a report from Yonhap news agency, police carried out a comprehensive investigation and concluded that North Korea is directly responsible for cyber attacks on dozens of email accounts belonging to employees of four main bitcoin exchanges in South Korea.
It is being alleged that North Korean hackers sent emails with malware to the employees between July and August 2017. These hackers pulled off such a feat by pretending to be security authorities while the emails were sent to a single IP address, which was found to be associated with previous hacking incidents against Seoul where North Korea was found to be involved. Moreover, according to the Police, North Korea sent test emails before launching the actual attack via infected emails because the location of origin of those test emails has been traced back to North Korea.
