North Korean hackers using new VeilShell backdoor in Stealthy attack.
3 October 2024
Threat actors with ties to North Korea have been observed delivering a previously undocumented backdoor and remote access trojan (RAT) called VeilShell as part of a campaign targeting Cambodia and likely other Southeast Asian countries.
The activity, dubbed SHROUDED#SLEEP by Securonix, is believed to be the handiwork of APT37, which is also known as InkySquid, Reaper, RedEyes, Ricochet Chollima, Ruby Sleet, and ScarCruft.
Active since at least 2012, the adversarial collective is assessed to be part of North Korea’s Ministry of State Security (MSS). Like with other state-aligned groups, those affiliated with North Korea, including the Lazarus Group and Kimsuky, vary in their modus operandi and likely have ever-evolving objectives based on state interests.
A key malware in its toolbox is RoKRAT(aka Goldbackdoor), although the group has also developed custom tools to facilitate covert intelligence gathering.
