North Korea Hackers Pose 'Significant Threat' to Global Finances, US Warns

Jeff Seldin

   WASHINGTON - Banks and other financial institutions could soon find
   themselves in the crosshairs of North Korean hackers, according to a
   warning issued Wednesday by U.S. officials.

   The advisory, issued by the State, Treasury and Homeland Security
   departments and the FBI, did not give a reason for the timing of the
   guidance, which came a day after Pyongyang carried out its latest
   missile test.

   U.S. military officials Tuesday [1]downplayed the risk from North
   Korea's test launch of short-range ballistic missiles, suggesting it
   might have been tied to the country's celebration of the birthday of
   its founder, Kim Il Sung.
