From a law enforcement or investigation side, we're trying to actually trace back to who did it.

As soon as you double click on it, it starts running in the background of your computer where you can't see... it's also trying to open up your computer -- what we call a back door -- to give access to the infected system by the attacker.

Hacks are going on all the time, constantly -- though how many actually make the news is a very small amount, how many are detected in general ? I think the average person would have no clue they've been hacked.

It would try to delete essentially all your files... then restart the system. You would come back up and nothing would be there, if it infected more financial systems, it could have deleted all financial data in North Korea. I mean, it is dangerous.
