This includes more general recon efforts as well as moving laterally through the energy companies&#8217; networks, stealing employees&#8217; credentials and exfiltrating data.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that this campaign targets energy providers is especially troubling as energy costs skyrocket due to the war in Ukraine, reaching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2022\/sep\/07\/eu-sets-out-plans-for-windfall-taxes-and-power-savings-amid-energy-crisis\" rel=\"nofollow\">crisis status<\/a> in Europe. But then, again, Pyongyang has never shied away from exploiting a global catastrophe \u2014 or a software vulnerability \u2014 for financial gain.<\/p>\n<p>In July, Uncle Sam offered a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2022\/07\/27\/north_korea_us_reward\/\">$10 million reward<\/a> for information on members of state-sponsored North Korean threat groups including Lazarus, double the amount that the US State Department <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2022\/04\/15\/feds_north_korea_bounty\/\">announced<\/a> back in April.<\/p>\n<p>Also in April, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/news\/pressrel\/press-releases\/fbi-statement-on-attribution-of-malicious-cyber-activity-posed-by-the-democratic-peoples-republic-of-korea\" rel=\"nofollow\">the Feds attributed<\/a> the $620 million Axie Infinity heist to North Korea&#8217;s Lazarus Group, and fingered the gang&#8217;s getaway wallet address.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And a few months later, investigators at a blockchain analysis outfit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2022\/07\/01\/lazarus-crypto-hack-harmony\/\" rel=\"noopener\">linked<\/a> the $100 million Harmony crypto theft to Kim Jong-un&#8217;s cyber goons.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"> <span>Kim&#8217;s #goals<\/span><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>These cyberattacks on cryptocurrency exchanges and financial institutions help fund North Korea&#8217;s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and support the country&#8217;s claimed three <a href=\"https:\/\/dgap.org\/en\/research\/publications\/north-koreas-cyber-capabilities-and-strategy-0\" rel=\"nofollow\">top objectives<\/a>: causing disruption, conducting cyberespionage, and raising money.<\/p>\n<p>And this latest campaign against energy firms fits into these larger objectives, too.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The main goal of these attacks was likely to establish long-term access into victim networks to conduct espionage operations in support of North Korean government objectives,&#8221; An, Malhotra and Ventura wrote. &#8220;This activity aligns with historical Lazarus intrusions targeting critical infrastructure and energy companies to establish long-term access to siphon off proprietary intellectual property.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also similar to the Maui ransomware campaign used against US health-care organizations earlier this year that Kaspersky later attributed to Andariel, a North Korean state-sponsored threat with links to the notorious Lazarus Group.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;critical difference&#8221; between the two, according to Talos, is the malware. &#8220;While Kaspersky discovered the use of Dtrack and Maui, we&#8217;ve observed the use of VSingle, YamaBot and MagicRAT,&#8221; the analysts noted. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
