Seoul Spies Say North Korea Hackers Stole Semiconductor Secrets

The DPRK is using cyberattacks to steal designs and other data from South Korean microchip manufacturers, according to Seouls National Intelligence Service.

North Korean hackers have allegedly stolen South Korean microchip manufacturing technology secrets, prompting the National Intelligence Service (NIS) in Seoul to call for better cyber defenses.
Reports say the NIS accused
North Korean cybercrime groups
of compromising the servers of two separate (so far unnamed) microchip manufacturers in South Korea and
stealing semiconductor designs
and facility photos.
We believe that North Korea might possibly be preparing to produce its own semiconductors in the face of difficulties in procuring them due to sanctions, the NIS reportedly said in a statement.
