Ransomware is from North Korea? Is it true? Or just a piece of propaganda preparing to attack North Korea, to have approvement of people?

The Russian bot accounts are out in force apparently.

Yes it is well-known NK has been involved in various ransomware schemes. They seem unique in being state-sponsored. Most of the Russian, Chinese, and US schemes are criminal enterprises.

Well, not well known to me. And in case of wannacry, where the nyt states as a fact it was north corea, that is news to me, as I never saw any proof.

Might be possible or even likely, yes, but I do not like things presented to me as a fact if it isn't one.
