White House adviser says NKorea behind big ransomware attack
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The United States and South Korea have accused North Korea of launching a series of cyberattacks in recent years, though the North has dismissed the accusations. The U.S. publicly blamed North Korea for a âcareless and recklessâ ransomware attack that infected hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide in May.White House homeland security adviser Tom Bossert says North Korea was directly responsible for the WannaCry attack and needs to be held accountable for increasingly malicious behavior.The WannaCry attack struck more than 150 nations, locking up digital documents, databases and other files and demanding a ransom for their release.Bossert said the Trump administrationâs finding of responsibility is based on evidence and confirmed by other private companies and foreign governments, including the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Japan.He said Microsoft traced the attack to cyber affiliates of the North Korean government.The findings come as the U.S. has sought to pressure Kim Jong Unâs government to end North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
