The North Korean 'Lazarus' hacking group targeted employees of an aerospace company located in Spain with fake job opportunities to hack into the corporate network using a previously unknown 'LightlessCan' backdoor.
The hackers utilized their ongoing "Operation Dreamjob" campaign, which entails approaching a target over LinkedIn and engaging in a fake employee recruitment process that, at some point, required the victim to download a file.
The employee did so on a company's computer, allowing the North Korean hackers to breach the corporate network to conduct cyber espionage.
