Lazarus’ new malware can now bypass detection

North Korean hacker group Lazarus has adopted an advanced malware technique, making its fake job scams harder to detect. ESET researchers found the malware, named LightlessCan, during an investigation of an attack against a Spanish aerospace firm. LightlessCan is described as an advanced backdoor that mimics Windows commands and deploys ‘execution guardrails’, enabling lower detection by security systems. The primary motive behind these attacks has been cyberespionage, targeting financial institutions and companies in the crypto sphere.
