SAN FRANCISCO – Researchers at Recorded Future, a threat intelligence company, said in a report Wednesday that North Korean hackers have used technology from Microsoft, Apple and Samsung to carry out cyberattacks. The isolated country has been behind major cyberattacks, including the 2017 WannaCry ransomware assault, which locked up thousands of computers across 150 countries and ensnared hospitals, universities and airports with its malware.

North Korea’s government was also behind the 2014 Sony hack, which was considered one of the most destructive attacks on a company on US soil at the time.

Microsoft and Samsung didn’t immediately respond for a request for comment.
