Feds Link Kansas Hospital Cyber Attack to North Korea
GovTech
(TNS) — A federal grand jury in Kansas City, Kansas, indicted a North Korean national Wednesday for his connection to an alleged hacking and extortion conspiracy that included a Kansas hospital as a target.
Proceeds from ransomware attacks were laundered and then used to fund further computer attacks against government agencies, military bases and defense companies, according to the Department of Justice.
Charging documents list a number of targets, including the Kansas hospital, which suffered a ransomware attack in May 2021, and healthcare groups and organizations in Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida and Colorado, as well as a South Korean manufacturing company. NASA, Randolph Air Force Base in Texas and Robins Air Force Base in Georgia were listed as in court documents as having had data stolen, as were four U.S.-based defense companies, a Chinese energy company, a Taiwanese defense company and two South Korean defense companies.
