North Korean cyber operations are reportedly expanding, with state-backed hacker groups, including the notorious Lazarus Group, evolving their tactics to target global infrastructure. A recent report from Paradigm researcher Samczsun highlights that these groups are not only using traditional methods but are also employing fake job offers and malware to infiltrate systems. Insider risk management firm DTEX has indicated that North Korean nationals have gained deeper access to businesses worldwide than previously understood. This information was discussed during the #Links25 conference, where experts from various sectors, including law enforcement and cryptocurrency, gathered to address the rising threat of cybercrime. Chainalysis executives, including CEO Jony Levin, emphasized the importance of collaboration and technological advancements in combating these threats. As North Korean IT workers expand their operations into Europe, the implications for cybersecurity and regulatory measures are becoming increasingly critical.
