The State Department is offering a $10 million reward for information leading to the location of members of the malicious cyber hacking group Andariel.
Washington — North Korean hackers allegedly targeted a number of U.S. hospitals and healthcare systems with ransomware as part of an illegal scheme to fund a covert information exfiltration campaign against American military and scientific entities, federal investigators revealed Thursday.
The attacks forced some of those healthcare providers to cancel patient appointments and demanded similar cryptocurrency payments. Investigators said they tracked the Bitcoin payments to various accounts including those controlled by unnamed individuals living in Hong Kong. According to the charging documents, the North Korean hackers targeted hospitals and health care companies to extort them with ransomware and then use the ransom payments to buy internet servers to attack U.S.
