North Korean hacking group grows into global threat

Seoul

NORTH Korean cyber spy group Reaper is emerging as a global threat, conducting espionage well beyond the Korean peninsula in support of Pyongyang's military and economic interests, FireEye Inc said.

The group, known also as APT37, in 2017 began attacking targets in Japan, Vietnam and the Middle East after having focused on its southern neighbour for years, FireEye said in a report.
