Researchers Capture Lazarus APT's Remote-Worker Scheme Live on Camera
A joint investigation led by Mauro Eldritch, founder of BCA LTD, conducted together with threat-intel initiative NorthScan and ANY.RUN, a solution for interactive malware analysis and threat intelligence, has uncovered one of North Korea's most persistent infiltration schemes: a network of remote IT workers tied to Lazarus Group's Famous Chollima division.
For the first time, researchers managed to watch the operators work live, capturing their activity on what they believed were real developer laptops. The machines, however, were fully controlled, long-running sandbox environments created by ANY.RUN.
The operation began when NorthScan's Heiner García impersonated a U.S. developer targeted by a Lazarus recruiter using the alias "Aaron" (also known as "Blaze").

North Korean Hackers Use Fake LinkedIn Jobs to Steal Company Data
In the shadowy realm of cyber espionage, few groups cast as long a shadow as the Lazarus Group, a North Korean state-sponsored hacking collective notorious for its audacious operations. Recent revelations have pulled back the curtain on one of their most insidious tactics: infiltrating Western companies through fake remote job offers. Cybersecurity researchers have now captured this scheme in action, providing unprecedented insight into how these operatives blend social engineering with advanced technical prowess to breach corporate defenses.
The operation begins with seemingly legitimate job postings on platforms like LinkedIn, targeting IT professionals and developers. Once a candidate bites, the hackers pose as recruiters from reputable firms, often using stolen identities to build credibility. This isn’t just about phishing emails; it’s a full-fledged impersonation game, complete with video calls and fabricated company backgrounds. The goal? To plant insiders within target organizations, granting access to sensitive systems under the guise of legitimate employment.
