President of Microsoft Brad Smith says that North Korean power could have used tools stolen from the US National Security Agency to launch a virus, as he told ITV News.
Brad Smith said he believed "with great confidence" that Pyongyang was behind for the hack which impacted 200,000 computers in 150 countries around the world.
The President of Microsoft also called on governments to put effort into protecting their citizens from cyber threats. In particular, he suggested creating a new international law against cyber attacks.
“We need governments to come together as they did in Geneva in 1949 and adopt a new digital Geneva Convention that makes clear that these cyber-attacks against civilians, especially in times of peace, are off-limits and a violation of international law,” he said.
