The FBI and several U.S. agencies issued a joint cybersecurity advisory that warned of state-backed hacks using emails in a way that makes them appear to be from legitimate and trusted organizations.
In the joint statement, the FBI, U.S. Department of State, and National Security Agency (NSA) said that alleged North Korean-backed hackers linked to the communist country’s military intelligence agency, known as Kimsuky, have been using email authentication bypass to impersonate academics, journalists, and researchers.
