A U.S. district court issued an order enabling Microsoft to take over 50 domains used by a North Korea-based cybercrime gang to conduct spear phishing campaigns. Microsoft’s Digital Crimes Unit and the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center took down the domains controlled by a group it named Thallium after researching the malicious actors activity and filing a report with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, said Tom Burt, Microsoft’s corporate vice president, customer Security and trust.
