North Korea-backed hackers target security researchers with 0-day

North Korea-backed hackers are once again targeting security researchers, using a zero-day exploit and related malware to infiltrate computers used for sensitive cybersecurity investigations. Google researchers discovered the unfixed zero-day vulnerability in a popular software package used by the targeted researchers. The hackers established working relationships with the researchers before exploiting the vulnerability using a malicious file. This campaign closely matches a previous one definitively tied to North Korean government-backed hackers. The hackers pose as security researchers and develop relationships on social media before sharing Trojanized exploits or analysis tools with their targets.
