Join the Jisc cyber threat intelligence team as they explore North Korean APT43's attacks on UK research institutions.
North Korean APT43, also known as Kimsuky, is actively targeting UK education and research institutions, focusing on academics working on geopolitics, nuclear policy, and North Korean affairs. In this Tech Takes: Quick Takes episode, Jisc's cyber threat intelligence team explains the group's motivations and how they use tactics like spear phishing and adversary-in-the-middle attacks to compromise accounts and steal sensitive data.
The team shares real-world incidents and outlines practical defences, including stronger email security, DMARC policies, MFA, EDR tools, and user awareness training. With APT43's campaigns posing risks to research integrity and national security, this episode highlights why a layered defence strategy is essential for UK institutions.
