The hackers have used the opportunity of Kim Jong Un&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Address to attract interest.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;The attack is very similar to the North Korean hacking attack last year that targeted defectors in South Korea.

The document\u2019s title is the exact text of the New Year\u2019s Analysis sent out by the Ministry of Unification, but with malicious text embedded in a hyperlink offering detailed comparisons of the 2016 and 2017 New Year\u2019s addresses.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" class=\"bbs_caption1_box\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/efile\/201701\/DNKE_2059_421667_1483599233_i.jpg\"><br \/><a class=\"bbs_caption1\">Clicking the &#8216;Comparison on the main assignments of 2016 and 2017 in the file <br \/>results in infection of the host computer by malicious code.
