Background for this topic.
Lazarus is a name used by security researchers and public authorities for a suspected, loosely defined intrusion set associated with multiple malware and cyber-espionage operations. The label may cover related but not identical activity, and attribution can change as technical evidence is reassessed. Public reporting has connected the name to incidents involving credential theft, malicious software, theft of funds, and disruptive attacks; those reports should not automatically be treated as proof that every campaign sharing similar tooling has the same operator.
For defenders, coverage under this tag is most useful when it identifies the initial access path, affected software, infrastructure, and evidence supporting attribution. Practical priorities include phishing-resistant multifactor authentication for privileged and remote access, prompt remediation of exploited internet-facing systems, application allowlisting for sensitive environments, and monitoring for unusual authentication, scripting, and outbound connections. During a suspected intrusion, preserve endpoint, identity, email, and network logs before containment changes evidence, then scope for stolen credentials and persistence across connected systems.
North Korean Hackers Deploy Novel Malware FamiliesNorth Korean hacking group Lazarus Group is exploiting Log4Shell to target manufacturing, agriculture and physical security sectors, resulting in the deployment of a tailored implant on compromised systems. The attack campaign targeted publicly accessible VMware Horizon servers.
Sure, they do crimes. But the plausible deniability governments adore means they deserve a different label Cybercrime gangs like the notorious Lazarus group and spyware vendors like Israel's NSO should be considered cyber mercenaries – and become the subject of a concerted international response – according to a Monday report from Delhi-based think tank Observer Research Foundation (ORF).…
The notorious North Korean hacking group known as Lazarus continues to exploit CVE-2021-44228, aka "Log4Shell," this time to deploy three previously unseen malware families written in DLang. [...]

The infamous vulnerability may be on the older side at this point, but North Korea's primo APT Lazarus is creating new, unique malware around it at a remarkable clip.
The notorious North Korea-linked threat actor known as the Lazarus Group has been attributed to a new global campaign that involves the opportunistic exploitation of security flaws in Log4j to deploy previously undocumented remote access trojans (RATs) on compromised hosts
