Security Alert:  HIDDEN COBRA – North Korea’s DDoS Botnet Infrastructure
Alert (TA17-17-164A) was released by US-CERT, and there have been reports this week from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) this week about multiple vulnerabilities with Microsoft products, including the Windows operating system, and a threat by a group that the FBI and DHS labels as “Hidden Cobra”.
