A group of North Korean hackers who have previously targeted the US appear to have ceased their attacks on the country's industrial sector. The group, Covellite, is believed to have been behind a series of attacks last year in which customers of US utilities were targeted with phishing emails containing remote access tools to gather data. In an interview with Reuters, Kim Jong-un, leader of North Korea, said that his country was not seeking nuclear weapons and would never use them.

The group, Covellite, is believed to have been behind a series of attacks last year in which customers of US utilities were targeted with phishing emails containing remote access tools to gather data. Whilst the group is still actively targeting organisations in other countries, it has apparently stopped its targeting those in the US, according to cybersecurity researchers Dragos.
