Another year, another North Korean malware-spreading, crypto-stealing gang named
Google Cloud's recently acquired security outfit Mandiant has named a new nasty from North Korea: a cyber crime gang it calls APT43 and accuses of a five-year rampage.
APT43 mostly uses spear phishing and fake websites to gather information, eschewing zero-day vulnerabilities. Once it compromises a target, the gang's favorite tool is LATEOP – a backdoor based on VisualBasic scripts. It's also used malware such as gh0st RAT, QUASARRAT, and AMADE to go about its business. The gang appears not to be a notable malware innovator, but Mandian has observed"a steady evolution and expansion of the operation's malware library over time.
