TEL AVIV - Israel said it thwarted a cyber attack on its defence industry by a hacking group known as Lazarus, which the United States says is run by North Korean intelligence.

The group built fake profiles on the LinkedIn network to disguise its hackers and separately attempted to hack Israeli defence firms via their websites, the ministry statement said. Israel said the group was backed by a foreign country, but did not name it. Washington has said Lazarus operates for the RGB, North Korea's primary intelligence bureau.

North Korea's mission to the United Nations in New York did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Pyongyang has in the past denied allegations of cyber-attacks and accused the United States of spreading rumours.
