Pyongyang’s continued pilfering of cryptocurrency exchanges has racked in millions of dollars for the hermit kingdom. Government officials in Seoul say North Korean hackers targeted and successfully stole cryptocurrencies from businesses and traders based in South Korea worth billions of won last year.

At first, technicians at multinational energy giant Schneider Electric thought they were looking at the everyday software used to manage equipment inside nuclear and petroleum plants around the world. They had no idea that the code carried the most dangerous industrial malware on the planet. More than four months have passed since a novel, highly sophisticated piece of malware forced an important oil and gas facility in the Middle East to suddenly shut down, but cybersecurity analysts still don’t know who wrote the code. Since last August, multiple teams of researchers in the public and private sectors have been examining what the perpetrators planted inside a nondescript Saudi computer network.
