The Justice Department has charged a North Korean computer programmer in major cyber crimes over the last four years, including the 2017 WannaCry ransomware attack and the 2014 Sony Pictures hack.
The DOJ said Thursday that it's charged Jin Hyok Park, a North Korean computer programmer, with one count of conspiracy to commit computer fraud and abuse and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The charges are related to a massive attack against Sony, the WannaCry ransomware that ensnared thousands of computers in hospitals, universities and banks, and a $81 million Bangladesh Bank heist in 2016.
