What’s up, folks? It’s your old pal, bringing the bad news! 📰 North Korean hacking groups are at it again, and this time they’re gunning for Web3 companies with some fancy new tricks up their sleeves, including a few aimed directly at Apple systems. Because, you know, who doesn’t love a good Apple infection? 🍎 And, of course, no hacking party would be complete without some good old-fashioned social engineering! 🎉
The Norks’ New Toys: Nim Malware and Clickfix 🤖
Those wacky North Korean hackers just won’t quit! They’re always cooking up new ways to get their grubby little hands on Web3 companies’ goodies. And now, they’ve got a thing for Apple systems. Who can blame ’em, right? I mean, who wouldn’t want a piece of that Apple pie? 🍰
According to those intrepid folks at The Hacker News, the attack goes a little something like this: they use social engineering to butter up their targets, set up a Zoom call, and then – BAM! – they hit ’em with a fake Zoom update link. And just like that, the user is hooked! 🎣
But wait, there’s more! The “update” actually delivers a script that lets the attackers snoop around the system, gather intel, and run amok with arbitrary code. It’s like a digital free-for-all! 🎉 And the best part? The attackers get to remotely manage the whole shebang! 🤡
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “How did they get so clever?” Well, let’s just say those North Korean hackers have been doing their homework. They’re like the A-students of hacking! 📚
And don’t even get me started on Sentinelone researchers Phil Stokes and Raffaele Sabato, who said:
Nim’s rather unique ability to execute functions during compile time allows attackers to blend complex behaviour into a binary with less obvious control flow, resulting in compiled binaries in which developer code and Nim runtime code are intermingled even at the function level. Yeah, yeah, yeah… it’s all Greek to me! 🤪
But wait, there’s more! Those North Korean groups are also using other email-focused methods to get their way. It’s like a never-ending hacking party! 🎉 They’re calling it Babyshark, and it involves delivering bogus documents that are socially engineered to make the user go, “Ooh, I just gotta open this!” 📨
And what kind of documents, you ask? Oh, just your run-of-the-mill interview requests from real newspapers, data requests from intelligence officers about visits to other countries, and diplomatic papers. You know, the usual! 📰
