Justice Dept. Alerting Victims of North Korean Botnet Infections

US officials disrupt North Koreas Joanap attack infrastructure.

The US Department of Justice today announced that it is notifying US victims whose computers are infected with malware used by North Korea to build out its massive Joanap botnet.

The search warrants and court orders announced today as part of our efforts to eradicate this botnet are just one of the many tools we will use to prevent cybercriminals from using botnets to stage damaging computer intrusions, said United States Attorney Nick Hanna.
