Talos Takes Ep. #76: What is Kimsuky phishing around for?
Summary: Cisco Talos' podcast episode features researcher Asheer Malhotra discussing a Kimsuky campaign in which the North Korean state-sponsored actor used a series of fake blog posts to spread malware to high-profile targets in South Korea. The episode covers what information the attackers may have been after, how they infected victims, and how to detect future malicious blog posts.
Why it matters: A nation-state actor used ordinary blog posts as the delivery mechanism against high-profile targets in South Korea, which means the content your people read for research is itself an attack surface.
