๐Lazarus Group, the North Korean hacking squad, is back with a bang, using a new malware called LightlessCan! This sneaky software is harder to detect than its predecessor, BlindingCan.๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
๐ฉโ๐ปESET's senior malware researcher, Peter Kรกlnai, discovered this while investigating a fake job attack on a Spanish aerospace firm. The Lazarus Group loves luring victims with irresistible job offers, but LightlessCan takes it up a notch by mimicking native Windows commands.๐ฅ๏ธ
๐The malware also has "execution guardrails" to ensure only the intended victim can decrypt the payload. Talk about dedication!๐
๐ฅSince 2016, North Korean hackers have stolen an estimated $3.5 billion from crypto projects. No wonder the UN is working hard to curb their cybercrime tactics!๐
