The attack started with compromising a media outlet's website to embed malicious scripts into an article, allowing for a 'watering hole' attack.
State-backed North Korean hacking operations consistently rely on supply chain attacks and the exploitation of zero-day vulnerabilities as part of their cyber warfare tactics.
In March 2023, it was discovered that "Labyrinth Chollima," a subgroup of Lazarus, conducted a supply chain attack against VoIP software maker 3CX to breach multiple high-profile companies worldwide.
Last Friday, Microsoft disclosed a supply chain attack on CyberLink that the Lazarus hacking group used to distribute trojanized, digitally-signed CyberLink installers to infect at least a hundred computers with the 'LambLoad' malware.
Microsoft: Lazarus hackers breach CyberLink in supply chain attack.
Google: Hackers exploited Zimbra zero-day in attacks on govt orgs.
