lazarus group

About

Lazarus Group is a cybercrime group made up of an unknown number of individuals run by the government of North Korea. While not much is known about the Lazarus Group, researchers have attributed many high-profile cyberattacks to them between 2010 and 2021, including the Sony and WannaCry attacks. In 2018, Recorded Future issued a report linking the Lazarus Group to attacks on cryptocurrency Bitcoin and Monero users, mostly in South Korea. More recently, in late 2022, Microsoft and cybersecurity firm Volexity have traced a new version of AppleJeus malware to the Lazarus Group hackers behind the Ronin exploit and numerous other online crypto heists. In 2022, the US government added several ETH wallets associated with Lazarus Group to their SDN Sanctions List.
