U.S. issues North Korea cyber attack details, alerts

Majority of DPRK Volgmer malware attacks originate from India and Iran: FBI

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) released two joint Technical Alerts (TA) on Tuesday detailing techniques used by the North Korean government in cyberattacks on U.S. and global entities.
