CryptoCore Criminal Group
Summary
Infosec researchers believe that they have managed to uncover the identity of the cybercriminal group responsible for several multi-million attack campaigns targeting mostly cryptocurrency exchanges. An initial report attributed the attacks to Eastern European hackers, possibly located in countries from the region such as Ukraine, Russia and Romania. Multiple cybersecurity vendors followed up that report by releasing their own findings regarding different malicious operations that exhibited significant similarities with the activities observed by security researchers. An F-SECURE report revealed details about a large-scale, multinational campaign against crypto wallets, while Japans CERT JPCERT/CC shared their findings after an analysis of multiple attacks against Japanese firms. After combining and comparing the gathered information, the researchers had enough evidence to attribute the CryptoCore operations with medium to high confidence to the North Korean state-sponsored hacking group Lazarus.
