Cyber Command assessed that the malware , which it posted to the information sharing platform VirusTotal , is being used in ongoing cyberattacks aimed at the financial sector.
"These malware samples are currently used for fund generation and malicious cyber activities including remote access, beaconing, and malware command by malicious cyber actors," the command said in a tweet.
The alert comes just weeks after a meeting with North to discuss possible denuclearization with the U.S. in Stockholm failed to produce a deal, just the latest in a series of meetings where both the U.S. and North Korea have walked away without a resolution.
