Trickbot and Lazarus are formidable cybercrime groups in their own right, researchers say. Trickbot tools have evolved to add tools for harvesting desktop application credentials and performing stealthy code injection. The partnership seems a no-brainer for Lazarus, whose specialty also seems to be attacking and defrauding corporations. The APT is the one behind the highly destructive WannaCry attack that caused millions of dollars of economic damage in 2017, as well as mounting a high-profile attack against Sony Pictures Entertainment in 2014.
