Some cryptocurrency firms use the software, as do tech firms active in the crypto industry. Mandiant, a cyber-intelligence firmed owned by Google, said that a suspected North Korean hacking group was responsible. Three years ago, North Korean operatives allegedly infiltrated another popular software provider that healthcare firms and hotel chains used for voice and video calls. North Korean hackers have stolen billions of dollars from banks and cryptocurrency firms in the last several years, according to reports from the United Nations and private firms. Last year, North Korean hackers stole $1.5 billion in cryptocurrency in a single attack in what was then the largest crypto hack on record.
