Justice Department says North Koreans have infiltrated dozens of U.S. companies

The U.S. Department of Justice has warned that North Korean hackers have infiltrated dozens of U.S. companies, using sanctioned hackers to target Americans to act as facilitators between breached U.S. companies and the North Korean government. The hackers are attempting to use these facilitators to gain access to sensitive information and technology from the compromised companies, which could potentially be used to further North Korea's nuclear and missile programs. This tactic is a new development in the North Korean hacking strategy, which has been escalating in recent years.
