Researchers have discovered a piece of software that installs on a victim's computer, mines a cryptocurrency called monero, and sends it to North Korea.

AlienVault, a U.S. cybersecurity firm, said Monday that it had found a piece of malware, or malicious software, that places a mining application on a victim's computer. Any mined currency is then sent to Kim Il Sung University in Pyongyang.
