The crime, first detected between March 2 and March 3, used a sample in the \u201cBankshot\u201d malware family.

They\u2019ve been tied to cyber attacks on cryptocurrencies and nation-states in the past, especially on their rival South Korea. This is the first time their alleged cyber theft efforts have targeted Turkey. However, while McAfee has no doubt that North Korea is responsible for these attacks, the possibility of a <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/security-information-event-management\/u-s-officials-russia-hacked-olympics-tried-frame-north-korea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">false flag operation<\/a> precludes potential retaliation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Representatives from Turkey did not offer a statement on the cyber attack at time of writing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<br \/>Widget not in any sidebars<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lazarus Group, a hacking organization with strongly alleged ties to North Korea\u2019s totalitarian regime, is suspected to be behind a wave of malware cyber attacks on Turkey.
