The North Korea-linked Lazarus Group (aka Hidden Cobra or TEMP.Hermit) has been observed using trojanized versions of Virtual Network Computing (VNC) apps as lures to target the defense industry and nuclear engineers as part of a long-running campaign known as Operation Dream Job.

ScarCruft, per Kaspersky, targeted a trading company linked to Russia and North Korea using a novel phishing attack chain that culminated in the delivery of RokRAT (aka BlueLight) malware, underscoring ongoing attempts by the hermit kingdom to target Russia.

The 2014 Sony Picture Entertainment attack and a series of SWIFT-targeted campaigns in 2015-2016 (especially the 2016 Bangladesh Bank heist) are among the significant attacks linked to the Lazarus group.

The hack was linked to two North Korean cyberespionage groups: ScarCruft, for breaching the email server, and the notorious Lazarus, for implanting backdoors into systems. SentinelLabs researchers found that the incident began in late 2021 and lasted until May of the following year.

The Lazarus Group has strong links to North Korea.[10][11] The United States Department of Justice has claimed the group is part of the North Korean government's strategy to "undermine global cybersecurity ... and generate illicit revenue in violation of ... sanctions".[12] North Korea benefits from conducting cyber operations because it can present an asymmetric threat with a small group of operators, especially to South Korea.[13]

It is not clear who is really behind the group, but media reports have suggested the group has links to North Korea.[18][19][16] Kaspersky Lab reported in 2017 that Lazarus tended to concentrate on spying and infiltration cyberattacks whereas a sub-group within their organisation, which Kaspersky called Bluenoroff, specialised in financial cyberattacks. Kaspersky found multiple attacks worldwide and a direct link (IP address) between Bluenoroff and North Korea.[20]

The WannaCry attack was a massive ransomware cyberattack that hit institutions across the globe ranging all the way from the NHS in Britain, to Boeing, and even to Universities in China on the 12th of May, 2017. The attack lasted 7 hours and 19 minutes. Europol estimates it affected nearly 200,000 computers in 150 countries, primarily affecting Russia, India, Ukraine, and Taiwan. This was one of the first attacks to travel via a cryptoworm. Cryptoworms are a recent form of computer virus that can travel between computers using networks, exploiting TCP port 445[33]). To be infected, there is no need to click on a bad link - the malware can spread autonomously, from a computer to a connected printer, and then beyond to adjacent computers, perhaps connected to the wifi, etc. The port 445 vulnerability allowed the malware to move freely across intranets, and infect thousands of computers rapidly. The Wannacry attack was one of the first large scale uses of a cryptoworm.[34][35]

The virus exploited a vulnerability in the Windows operating system, then encrypted the computer's data in return for a sum of Bitcoin worth roughly $300 to get the key. In order to encourage payment, the ransom demand doubled after three days, and if not paid in a week, the malware deletes the encrypted data files. The malware used a legitimate piece of software called Windows Crypto, made by Microsoft to scramble the files. Once the encryption is completed, the filename has "Wincry" appended, which is the root of the Wannacry name. Wincry was the base of the encryption, but two additional exploits, EternalBlue and DoublePulsar, were used by the malware to make it a cryptoworm. EternalBlue automatically spreads the virus through networks, while DoublePulsar triggered it to activate on a victim's computer. In other words, EternalBlue got the infected link to your computer, and DoublePulsar clicked it for you.[35]

North Korean hackers stole US$7 million from Bithumb, a South Korean exchange in February 2017.[40] Youbit, another South Korean Bitcoin exchange company, filed for bankruptcy in December 2017 after 17% of its assets were stolen by cyberattacks following an earlier attack in April 2017.[41] Lazarus and North Korean hackers were blamed for the attacks.[42][36] Nicehash, a cryptocurrency cloud mining marketplace lost over 4,500 Bitcoin in December 2017. An update about the investigations claimed that the attack is linked to Lazarus Group.[43]

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, pharmaceutical companies became major targets for the Lazarus Group. Using spear-phishing techniques, Lazarus Group members posed as health officials and contacted pharmaceutical company employees with malicious links. It is thought that multiple major pharma organizations were targeted, but the only one that has been confirmed was the Angloswedish-owned AstraZeneca. According to a report by Reuters,[45] a wide range of employees were targeted, including many involved in COVID-19 vaccine research. It is unknown what the Lazarus Group's goal was in these attacks, but the likely possibilities include:

Thus was born the Twitter account for the Austin cobra, which blended snake puns with Austin hipster jokes and quickly became a social media sensation. It had an Internet predator, @Austin_Mongoose, and local brands and even the City of Austin got in on the action: ff782bc1db
