South Korean police said North Korean hackers from the Kimsuky group hacked the computers of a company that provides computer simulation services for the Seoul-Washington joint exercises and attempted to conduct a cyberattack on military infrastructure. It has been reported DEA News.
Law enforcement highlighted this as a result of the investigation into multiple cases of malicious emails sent to employees of South Korean company A in February – March of this year, who were seconded to the war simulation center for the South Korean-American joint army. The wargames operator of the Freedom Shield exercises (command point) has detected that Kimsuky is behind it.
Police emphasized that in January, hackers managed to enter malicious code via e-mail into the computer of an administrative employee of company A, after which they received information about other employees of the company. As early as February, hackers sent e-mails to providers of war games with files allegedly verifying information with tax breaks. This was blocked by the Pentagon’s computer network.
