Shortly after signing a peace agreement with North Korea, the US
government issued a warning about North Korea using malware "HIDDEN
COBRA": https://www.us-cert.gov/hiddencobra
"This malware report contains analysis of 11 malware samples consisting
of 32-bit and 64-bit Windows executable files and a malicious Microsoft
Word document that contains Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros.
These files have the capability to download and install malware, install
proxy and Remote Access Trojans (RATs), connect to command and control
(C2) servers to receive additional instructions, and modify the victim's
firewall to allow incoming connections."
