South Korea announced new sanctions against a North Korean hacking group it accused of being involved in the North's latest satellite launch attempt
The United States and South Korea also issued a joint advisory saying the group conducts "large-scale" cyber attacks at think tanks, academic institutions and news outlets.

South Korea's ministry said the latest sanctions demonstrate Seoul's will to make North Korea pay for its provocations.
