On Wednesday, the department said members of North Korea\u2019s military intelligence agency, which is called the Reconnaissance General Bureau, are facing charges of conspiracy to commit computer fraud, wire fraud and bank fraud.<\/p>\n<p>This builds on a 2018 case in which one of the men was indicted for allegedly taking part in a number of cyber attacks, including the infamous hack against Sony Pictures. Prosecutors have said the Reconnaissance General Gureau is simply a criminal organization using the guise of being connected to a government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe DPRK\u2019s malicious activities are a global problem requiring global awareness, condemnation and cooperative disruption,\u201d stated John Demers, Assistant Attorney General for National Security. \u201cWith this indictment and related disruptions, the United States continues to do its part.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Three North Korean Military Hackers Indicted in Wide-Ranging Scheme to Commit Cyberattacks and Financial Crimes Across the Globe <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XiGrrYpllq\">https:\/\/t.co\/XiGrrYpllq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Justice Department (@TheJusticeDept) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheJusticeDept\/status\/1362111287161946124?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 17, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Justice Department has estimated North Korean hackers have targeted groups in more than two dozen countries over the past year.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/report-military-members-resisting-getting-covid-vaccination\/\">Report: Military members resisting getting COVID vaccination<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2181221,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AP21047457239369-655x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"DOJ charges 3 North Korean hackers in $1.3B worth of schemes","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-145214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AP21047457239369-655x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"DOJ charges 3 North Korean hackers in $1.3B worth of schemes","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145214\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2181221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
