North Korean hackers had access to Russian missile maker for months, say researchers
Two North Korean hacker groups had access to the internal systems of Russian missile and satellite developer NPO Mashinostoyeniya for five to six months, cyber security firm SentinelOne asserted on Monday. The attack illustrates potential North Korean efforts to advance development of missile and other military tech via cyber espionage.
The variant used in this incident"supports proxying C2 communication through the internal network hosts and directly to the external server," according to SentinelOne's researchers. The OpenCarrot files hold a compilation timestamp of December 1, 2021, which the researchers call"likely authentic" – meaning the threat actors were in the system for a period of months. Furthermore, malicious infrastructure communicating with NPO Mash's RedHat email server was in place since November 2021.
