Cyber attacks on a global scale have become routine now, especially with the involvement of state actors and North Korea is no stranger to this. In the latest research by security firm McAfee, North Korea is allegedly behind a global cyber attack campaign called Operation GhostSecret.

According to a report in The Hill, the global hacking campaign encompasses 17 countries including the US, the UK, Germany, Japan, Russia among them. The target is to extract information on critical infrastructure, telecommunications, entertainment organizations, healthcare organizations and so on. McAfee says that the hackers from Pyongyang have enough capabilities to develop and use multiple cyber tools and rapidly expand its global operations.
