Security News > 2023 > July > JumpCloud breach traced back to North Korean state hackers
US-based enterprise software company JumpCloud was breached by North Korean Lazarus Group hackers, according to security researchers at SentinelOne and CrowdStrike.
In a report published on Thursday, SentinelOne Senior Threat Researcher Tom Hegel linked the North Korean threat group to the JumpCloud hack based on multiple indicators of compromise shared by the company in a recent incident report.
"Reviewing the newly released indicators of compromise, we associate the cluster of threat activity to a North Korean state sponsored APT," said Hegel.
Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike also formally tagged Labyrinth Chollima as the particular North Korean hacking squad behind the breach based on evidence found while investigating the attack in collaboration with JumpCloud.
As of now, JumpCloud has not disclosed the number of customers impacted by the attack and has not attributed the APT group behind the breach to a specific state.
