(Reuters) - North Korean state-backed hackers appear to be cooperating with Eastern European cybercriminals, a report https://labs.sentinelone.com/the-deadly-planeswalker-how-the-trickbot-group-united-high-tech-crimeware-apt said on Wednesday, a finding that suggests digital gangsters and state-backed spies are finding common ground online.

Mountain View, California-based SentinelOne says that the Lazarus Group - which American prosecutors accuse of organizing the leak of emails from Sony Pictures and stealing millions of dollars from the Central Bank of Bangladesh - is getting access to some of its victims through a cybercrime gang dubbed "TrickBot."
