US Treasury sanctions North Korea over Sony hack and WannaCry attack
The U.S. government has issued sanctions against a North Korean individual and an entity over historical cyberattacks, which wreaked billions of dollars in damages.
In a statement, the U.S. Treasury named North Korean programmer Park Jin Jyok for working on behalf of Pyongyang in carrying out several cyberattacks against U.S. and global targets.
The statement said Park was responsible for a hack on Sony Pictures in 2016, which U.S. authorities had long blamed on North Korea, citing little evidence.
