North Korean state-sponsored hackers are responsible for nearly 50% of all cyberattacks targeting the U.S. tech industry in the past year, according to a new report from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike. The hackers primarily operate by posing as remote IT workers and recruiters to infiltrate companies across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
Background
State-sponsored hacking groups have become increasingly sophisticated in their operations, with North Korea particularly active in cyber espionage and financial crimes to bypass international sanctions. The tech industry remains a prime target due to its valuable intellectual property and access to critical infrastructure.
