Strong Evidence’ North Korea-Linked Group Was Behind NHS Cyberattack
Security experts say there are “clear code connections” between the global ransomware attack and a North Korea-linked group.
There is “strong” evidence to suggest a North Korea-linked group was behind last week’s global cyberattack, security experts say.
Simon Choi, director of South Korean anti-virus firm Hauri, said the code used in the attack shared many similarities with previous hacks attributed to North Korea-linked Lazarus Group.
The same collective is believed to have been behind the 2014 hack of Sony Pictures and is also suspected of previous attacks on the global financial system.
