Lazarus pivots to Linux attacks through Dacls Trojan | #CyberSecurity | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it

Lazarus, an advanced persistent threat (APT) group, has expanded its reach with the development and use of a Trojan designed to attack Linux systems. 

The APT, suspected to hail from North Korea, has previously been connected to global cyberattacks and malware outbreaks including the infamous WannaCry rampage, the $80 million Bangladeshi bank heist, and a new campaign impacting financial institutions worldwide. 

Recent reports suggest that Lazarus has become a customer of Trickbot, a criminal enterprise that is offering the state-sponsored threat actors access to infected systems alongside a collection of hacking tools. 

Lazarus may be willing to purchase tools from others but may also be capable of creating its own, such as in the case of a new Remote Access Trojan (RAT) spotted by researchers from Netlab 360.
