US government launches call to take down one of the world’s most notorious North Korean hackers

A North Korean hacker who targeted US healthcare organizations with ransomware attacks and then used the financial proceeds to steal sensitive data from technology 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, and the indictment is proof that the U.S. “will continue to use all the tools at our disposal to disrupt ransomware attacks, hold those responsible accountable, and put victims first,” said Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.
