It was identified that the threat actors were exfiltrating the data to malicious domains, such as shopandtravelusa[.]com, while they also hosted a webmail login that appeared possibly to be a phishing site. So, it’s possible that this could have been a multi-use command-and-control server – something that North Korean threat actors have a track record for. For example, on 27 June 2022, Twitter user “Phantom XSec” reported that a North Korean phishing site with a link containing a (naver[.]challengedrive[.]42web.io) was targeting “defectors” in South Korea, showcasing a link that contained a Base64-encoded Google drive URL and victim email. The site would then ask users to identify themselves before they were able to download the malicious Google drive link. Threats will persist. Our own research shows that many of the TTPs used by weaponised document attacks were not only similar, but also had identical footprints and IOCs, allowing us to attribute the metadata to a single threat actor. Given the methods used and trail of data points uncovered, it is highly likely that each of the weaponised document attack methods discussed here can be attributed to a threat actor operating out of North Korea, likely tied to the infamous Lazarus group. North Korean cyber criminals are known for their continued reliance on ageing malicious infrastructure. We don’t think this will change as threat actors continue to evolve their techniques.

What Role Can AI Play in Data Objectivity? By Garry M. Paxinos, CTO of netTALK CONNECT and NOOZ.AI Humans have eventually realized that sorting through a mountain of data, parsing it (turning it into a format more easily understood by a computer), and analyzing it to enhance commercial decision-making processes is too laborious for us. The solution has come from writing algorithms with artificial intelligence to complete the challenging task of extracting knowledge from complicated data. Many businesses use "data-driven" decision-making for operational decisions. Data may enhance judgments, but we need a “processor” or person to utilize it. Even the fact that data is filtered and summarized for processing by individuals is implied by the phrase "data driven." However, to effectively capitalize on the value that data holds, businesses must integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into their operations and, at times, remove us humans from the picture—data-driven workflows must change to ones that are AI-driven. Within this already significant challenge comes another—bias in data collecting for AI will provide skewed outcomes that will impair the fair deployment of that AI. The motto of a data scientist is "Garbage In, Garbage Out," and this principle also applies to AI. If you feed an algorithm useless speculation, then useless theories and speculation will be the result. Cyber Defense eMagazine – February 2023 Edition 159 Copyright © 2023, Cyber Defense Magazine.
