Trump includes North Korea in cybersecurity threat list

The U.S. has added North Korea to a U.S. cybersecurity threat list.

According to the White House website on Thursday, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to add North Korea, Russia and Iran to the existing list of threats.

Trump's order noted that while China poses "the most active and persistent cybersecurity threat to the U.S. government," significant threats are also arising from Russia, Iran, North Korea and other countries.

The previous Biden administration had issued an executive order, only identifying China as a threat.
