North Korea-Aligned cyber actors Spoofing websites

Source: Insikt Group
Release Date: June 2023

 

A report published by the cybersecurity firm Recorded Future points at North Korean aligned cyber actors spoofing legitimate financial firms in Japan, Vietnam and the United States, sending out emails and documents that, if opened, could compromise critical systems the user has access to.

 

"The targeting of investment banking and venture capital firms may expose sensitive or confidential information of these entities or their customers, may result in legal or regulatory action, jeopardize pending business negotiations or agreements, or expose information damaging to the company’s strategic investment portfolio,”

The Report says.

 

The report says the most recent cluster of activity took place between September 2022 and March 2023, making use of three new internet addresses and two old addresses, and more than 20 domain names. Some of the domains imitated those used by the targeted financial institutions.
