Cyber actors linked to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) are employing increasingly sophisticated techniques to target global organisations through software supply chain attacks, warn the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the Republic of Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS).

In a joint advisory released on Thursday, the NCSC and NIS detailed the tactics used by DPRK state-linked cyber actors, emphasising the growing threat and complexity of such attacks.
