The Wexner Center for the Arts will host a five-part event series dedicated to the work of Korean animation director Ahn Jae-huun throughout September.

North Korean state-sponsored threat actors were observed using the recently discovered ScreenConnect vulnerabilities to steal sensitive data from their targets. 

A new report from Kroll shared with TechRadar Pro found a group known as Kimsuky (AKA Thallium) abused two flaws found in ConnectWise’s solution to drop ToddleShark, an upgraded version of the group’s other backdoors, BabyShark and ReconShark. 

Growing up, you may not have been a fan of (or even heard of) Korean films and dramas.

Either way, the whole world has played host to the undisputed rise in the popularity of South Korean culture in recent years. 

The latest decision of streaming giant Netflix reflects this surge of love for Korean culture – something which is known as ‘Hallyu’, a Chinese term meaning ‘Korean Wave’. The site announced earlier this week that they plan to invest billions in South Korea in an attempt to bring in more subscribers and re-ignite the platform’s growth.
