Multiple US agencies including the FBI and DHS issued warnings about a looming state sponsored cyber attack by North Korea. In response, the US government is offering up to $5 million for information regarding the cyber attacks.
North Korea have been associated with mulitple cyber attacks in the past, including the WannaCry ramsonware attacks and the Sony data hack. The current threats primary target financial institutions and digital currency exchanges. With waves of attacks coming from cyber criminals during the virus panic over the past 2 months, it would be a surprise if North Korea didn’t try to take advantage of the situation. Hopefully, someone will be smart enough to try to claim the $5 million reward.
