💻🔗 Lazarus Group Launches Operation 99 to Target Web3 Developers. The North Korea-linked Lazarus Group has initiated a cyber attack campaign named Operation 99, aimed at software developers in the Web3 and cryptocurrency sectors. The operation employs fake recruiters on platforms like LinkedIn to lure victims into cloning malicious GitLab repositories, which then deploy malware designed to steal sensitive data, including cryptocurrency wallet keys. Victims have been identified globally, with a notable concentration in Italy. This campaign builds on previous tactics used by Lazarus, showcasing their evolving methods to exploit human trust through sophisticated recruitment schemes. The malware’s modular design allows it to operate across various operating systems, highlighting the persistent threat posed by nation-state cyber actors in the booming cryptocurrency landscape.
