According to available information, hacker groups allegedly linked to North Korea carried out a large-scale attack on the supply chain by infiltrating a software package used by thousands of companies in the United States. Cybersecurity experts say it could take months to determine the full extent of the attack, and that it may be part of a long-term campaign to steal cryptocurrencies. The attack was based on Axios, a widely used open-source software library. According to authorities, hackers associated with Pyongyang gained access to the software developer's account for about three hours on Tuesday morning. During this time, malicious updates were distributed to organizations that downloaded the software. After the incident, the developer took steps to regain control of the account, while cybersecurity teams across the country worked to assess the scope of the damage.
