Research reveals that the Lazarus Group, a North Korean hacking collective, is increasingly targeting developers by posing as recruiters to distribute malware.
Callie Guenther notes that the Lazarus Group's current methods, such as fake coding assessments, mark a significant evolution in their strategy, from fake job offers to exploiting trusted coding platforms.
Eric Schwake emphasizes the danger of these tactics as they exploit developer trust and blend seamlessly with legitimate workflows, making malicious activities harder to detect.
To mitigate risks from the Lazarus Group, Guenther advises security professionals to enhance awareness, secure supply chains, audit third-party code, and implement endpoint protections.
