While Trump was meeting with Kim Jong Un in Vietnam, North Korean hackers reportedly attacked targets in the US and elsewhere

As President Donald Trump met with Kim Jong Un in Hanoi for their second summit last week, hackers linked to North Korea reportedly launched attacks on over 100 targets in the US and the West.
The attacks, first reported by The New York Times, cite researchers at cybersecurity firm McAfee and allege that North Korean hackers engaged in an 18-month long operation against American and European businesses.
The attacks bore striking similarities to previous efforts perpetrated by North Korean state-sponsored cyber unit Lazarus Group, including similar source code and a very similar fake job recruitment campaign.

Thanks, @ABX, I appreciate that.  I'm more aurally challenged than video.  Now the almost-deaf can enjoy the articles.
