Revealed, names of the two American companies created by North Korean spies; what Google Maps showed

Cybersecurity researchers and documents reviewed by Reuters have uncovered a scheme by North Korean cyber spies who established two companies in the United States, flouting Treasury sanctions. These entities, Blocknovas LLC and Softglide LLC, registered in New Mexico and New York using fabricated identities and addresses, were allegedly used to distribute malicious software targeting individuals working within the cryptocurrency industry, according to researchers at the U.S. cybersecurity firm Silent Push. A third entity, Angeloper Agency, is also connected to this operation, though its U.S. registration remains unclear.

Reuters’ review of registration documents revealed that Blocknovas was registered in New Mexico and Softglide in New York. The individuals listed in these documents could not be located.
