North Korean Hackers Expand Targets to Include Russia, Microsoft Reports

Microsoft has revealed that North Korean hackers targeted Russian diplomats and successfully breached a Russian aerospace research institute in March. The motive behind the cyberattacks is believed to be intelligence collection on Russian entities due to the country's focus on the war in Ukraine. This comes after previous reports of North Korean spies infiltrating a major Russian missile developer last year. Microsoft's report also covered Chinese hackers targeting US critical infrastructure and allegations of China's propaganda operations using artificial intelligence and influencers.
