North Korean hackers are utilizing a “striking” new malware variant dubbed “Durian” to reportedly launch attacks on South Korean crypto firms.
The North Korean hacking group Kimsuky used the new malware in a series of targeted attacks on at least two cryptocurrency firms so far, according to a May 9 threat report from cybersecurity firm Kaspersky.
This was done through a “persistent” attack by exploiting legitimate security software used exclusively by crypto firms in South Korea.
