WASHINGTON - A North Korean government-backed hacking group penetrated an American IT management company and used it as a springboard to target an unknown number of cryptocurrency companies, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
JumpCloud, which acknowledged the hack in a blog post last week and blamed it on a “sophisticated nation-state sponsored threat actor”, did not answer Reuters’ questions about who specifically was behind the hack and which clients were affected.

North Korea has previously denied organising digital currency heists, despite voluminous evidence - including UN reports - to the contrary.
