North Korean government-backed threat group that was detected targeting security researchers in January is staging a campaign against cybersecurity professionals using advanced social engineering techniques. Google attributed the latest campaign to an unnamed North Korean-linked group, which the company says was behind a similar campaign that targeted security researchers by posing as bug hunters in January. In that campaign, the attackers shared malicious Visual Basic software with a backdoor to exfiltrate data from their victims. The exact goal of the newer campaign is not clear, as these fake websites and social media profiles do not appear to have delivered any malicious content to the intended victims.”]
