Mandiant attributed a long-running global espionage campaign to North Korea's APT45, also known as Andariel, operating under the Reconnaissance General Bureau since 2009. The activity targeted banks, defense firms, hospitals, government agencies, U.S. Air Force bases, NASA's Office of Inspector General, and nuclear-related entities including India's Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant. The stolen material reportedly included information on uranium processing, nuclear facilities, satellites, submarine and underwater vehicle technology, nuclear power plants, missile designs, and missile defense systems. The excerpt also links APT45-attributed ransomware and broader illicit financial activity to North Korea's efforts to fund and expand military and nuclear programs, underscoring the need for joint public-private defense and intelligence sharing.
