North Korean hackers target Ukrainian experts for possible intelligence on Russia's war

North Korean threat actors are conducting targeted campaigns against Ukrainian diplomacy, security, and international policy experts as Pyongyang expands its military engagement with Russia. The activity suggests intelligence collection efforts aligned with the broader Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Why it matters: Ukrainian government officials, security researchers, and policy advisors are direct targets; practitioners supporting Ukrainian organizations should assume heightened spear-phishing and credential theft risk tied to state-sponsored reconnaissance.
