Malicious Word files with DPRK-related materials sent from fake personae
Para 138: “Reports by a cybersecurity firm illustrated that Kimsuky had been distributing malicious Word files with Democratic People’s Republic of Korea-related materials using emails of fake personae. The Word files lure victims to open attachments and click on links; the perpetrators are thus given access to obtain information about the victims’ computers and their content.”
