North Korea stands accused of hacking into one of the world’s top shipbuilders.

A South Korean politician has claimed the Kim Jung Un regime stole warship blueprints from Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME). The South Korean government is now in touch with DSME to try and strengthen the yard’s cyber resilience.

North Korean hackers have been accused of many cyber attacks this year, including the WannaCry ransomware attack in May.
