Detailed description of infrastructure used by Lazarus to cover up tracks leading to North Korea
In-depth analysis of tools that allowed attackers to stay unnoticed in the corporate infrastructure

Due to continued media attention and alleged connections to North Korea, Lazarus has become a well‑known hacking group. However, existing attribution based primarily on malware code similarities is not always reliable.
Group-IB identified new non-malware evidence of North Korean involvement in recent attacks, revealing their chain of anonymized nodes and C&C infrastructure — allowing better understanding of their goals and motivation. This report contains an in-depth review of North Korean cyber division tools and tactics as well as recommendations on how to track their involvement in recent attacks on financial institutions and other critical infrastructure.
