The notorious Lazarus advanced persistent threat (APT) group has been identified as the cybergang behind a campaign spreading malicious documents to job-seeking engineers. The ploy involves impersonating defense contractors seeking job candidates. Emails sent to prospective engineering candidates by the APT purport to be from known defense contractors Airbus, General Motors (GM) and Rheinmetall. The campaign is just the latest by Lazarus that targets the defense industry. Researchers have been tracking Lazarus activity for months with engineering targets in the U.S. and Europe.
