Washington – The company and cybersecurity experts said Thursday that a North Korean government-backed hacking group breached a US information technology management company and used it as a springboard to target cryptocurrency companies.
Hackers broke into JumpCloud in Louisville, Colorado, in late June and used their access to the company’s systems to target “less than 5” of its customers, it said in a blog post.
JumpCloud did not identify the affected customers, but cybersecurity firms CrowdStrike Holdings — which is helping JumpCloud — and Alphabet-owned Mandiant — which is helping a JumpCloud customer — both said the hackers involved are known to focus on cryptocurrency theft.
