U.S. State Department Offers A $10 Million Award for Arrest of North Korean Hacker

I am not sure how someone would be able to catch this guy as long as he remains in North Korea:

 The United States offered Thursday to provide a reward of up to US$10 million for information on a North Korean cyber actor targeting America’s critical infrastructure, as it strives to prevent Pyongyang’s ability to generate revenue through illicit means to fund its weapons programs.

The State Department announced the reward, accusing Rim Jong-hyok — a North Korean national associated with a cyber group known as Andariel — and others of being involved in malicious cyberactivities targeting U.S. hospitals, government entities, defense contractors and others.

U.S. law enforcement investigators have documented that Andariel actors victimized five healthcare providers, four U.S.-based defense contractors, two U.S. Air Force bases and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, according to the department.

SpongeBrain’s State Department losers advertising they got a dozen “Rim” jobs…

Pretty lame.

They should have offered a lifetime supply of Choco-Pies.
