North Korean hackers masquerade as remote IT workers and venture capitalists to steal crypto and secrets - #Lazarus
Recent investigations have highlighted the escalating cyber threat posed by North Korean IT workers and associated threat groups, such as Lazarus and Sapphire Sleet. These groups have been linked to sophisticated cyber campaigns, including phishing attacks using malware-infected video conference apps, and malware targeting software developers and macOS systems through novel techniques. Additionally, North Korean cyber actors have stolen millions in cryptocurrency and sensitive information using social engineering and fake job postings. Chinese threat actors, such as Storm-2077, are also engaged in extensive cyber espionage, targeting various sectors for intelligence gathering. To combat these threats, organizations are advised to strengthen their security measures, enhance vetting processes, and remain vigilant against evolving tactics used by these cyber adversaries.
