The US is offering up to $10 million for information on members of state-sponsored North Korean threat groups, double the amount that the State Department announced<\/a> in April.<\/p>\n

The agency’s Rewards for Justice program this week said<\/a> it will cough up the cash for intelligence related to “government-linked cyber activities” in North Korea, including leads on people involved with such state-sponsored groups like Andariel, APT38, BlueNoroff, Guardians of Peace, Kimsuky, and Lazarus Group who are targeting critical infrastructure in the US.<\/p>\n

The latest notice is part of a larger ongoing campaign by the State Department and other US government agencies of offering bounties for information regarding cyberattacks from North Korea or other countries against the United States, particularly involving such sectors as critical infrastructure \u2013 such as power grids and water and food supplies \u2013 as well as federal elections.<\/p>\n
