US blames North Korea for WannaCry

North Korea is “directly responsible” for the WannaCry cyber attack, the Trump administration said. “We do not make this allegation lightly,” homeland security adviser Tom Bossert wrote in The Wall Street Journal; he is expected to release a formal statement Tuesday morning (CNBC). In October, the British government also said “we can be as sure as possible” the attack came from North Korea. WannaCry — which infected more than 300,000 computers in 150 countries earlier this year (CNBC) — has been linked to Lazarus Group, a hacking entity that works on behalf of the North Korean government, a White House official told CNBC.
