A North Korean hacker who attacked US healthcare organizations with ransomware attacks and then used the financial returns to steal sensitive data from tech and defense companies around the world has been indicted by a grand jury in Kansas City, Kansas.
Rim Jong Kyok remains at large in North Korea, with the indictment standing as a demonstration that the US “will continue to deploy all the tools at our disposal to disrupt ransomware attacks, hold those responsible to account, and place victims first,” according to Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.
