This recent\nBluenoroff activity illustrates how intrusion sets turn to cross-platform language in their\nmalware development efforts, further expanding their capabilities highly likely to broaden\ntheir victimology. While other DPRK-nexus intrusion sets, including Lazarus, Kimsuky and\nmore recently Reaper were already reported targeting macOS, it is the first time Bluenoroff\nwas observed targeting macOS users, to the best of our knowledge.\nInformation\nMalpedia Last change to this tool card: 16 January 2024\nDownload this tool card in JSON format\nAll groups using tool RustBucket\nChanged Name Country
