In an advisory today Germany's federal intelligence agency (BfV) and South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) warn of an ongoing cyber-espionage operation targeting the global defense sector on behalf of the North Korean government.
The attacks aim to steal advanced military technology information and help North Korea modernize conventional arms as well as develop new military capabilities.
Today's joint cybersecurity advisory (also available in Korean and German) highlights two cases attributed to North Korean actors, one of them the Lazarus group, to provide the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by the attackers.
