As\r\nopposed to typical cybercrime, the group likely conducts well-planned, disciplined,\r\nand methodical cyber operations more akin to careful espionage activities. Their\r\nmalicious cyber operations have netted hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars and are\r\nlikely a major source of funding for the North Korean regime. The group has always\r\nused a calculated approach, which allows them to sharpen their tactics, techniques,\r\nand procedures while evading detection. Over time, their operations have become\r\nincreasingly complex and destructive. The tools and implants employed by this\r\ngroup are consistently complex and demonstrate a strong focus on effectiveness and\r\noperational security.\r\nNorth Korea's intelligence apparatus controls a hacking team dedicated to robbing\r\nbanks through remote internet access. To differentiate methods from other North\r\nKorean malicious cyber activity, the U.S. Government refers to this team as\r\nBeagleBoyz, who represent a subset of HIDDEN COBRA activity. The BeagleBoyz\r\noverlap to varying degrees with groups tracked by the cybersecurity industry as\r\nLazarus Group, Hidden Cobra, Labyrinth Chollima and Subgroup: Bluenoroff, APT\r\n38, Stardust Chollima and are responsible for the FASTCash ATM cash outs\r\nreported in October 2018, fraudulent abuse of compromised bank-operated SWIFT\r\nsystem endpoints since at least 2015, and lucrative cryptocurrency thefts. This illicit\r\nbehavior has been identified by the United Nations (UN) DPRK Panel of Experts as\r\nevasion of UN Security Council resolutions, as it generates substantial revenue for\r\nNorth Korea. North Korea can use these funds for its UN-prohibited nuclear\r\nweapons and ballistic missile programs. Additionally, this activity poses significant\r\nhttps://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/showcard.cgi?u=32d0e917-c901-4101-9f00-7b16dcfb5868\r\nPage 1 of 2\n\noperational risk to the Financial Services sector and erodes the integrity of the\nfinancial system.\nObserved\nSectors: Financial.\nCountries: Argentina, Brazil, Bangladesh, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Chile,\nCosta Rica, Ecuador, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait,\nMalaysia, Malta, Mexico, Mozambique, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan,\nPanama, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan,\nTanzania, Togo, Turkey, Uganda, Uruguay, Vietnam, Zambia.\nTools used FASTCash, NachoCheese, PSLogger.\nOperations performed\n2016/2018\nOperation “FASTCash”\nOn October 2, 2018, an alert was issued by US-CERT, the\nDepartment of Homeland Security, the Department of the Treasury,\nand the FBI.
