???? North Korean Hackers Exposed: JumpCloud Breach Unveiled! ????️♂️????
The Reconnaissance General Bureau (RGB) of North Korea has been linked to the recent JumpCloud hack, all thanks to an operational security (OPSEC) mistake that revealed their true IP address. ????
???? Mandiant, Google-owned threat intelligence firm, identified the threat actor as UNC4899, which has connections with Jade Sleet and TraderTraitor groups, known for targeting blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors. UNC4899 also overlaps with APT43, a hacking crew from DPRK involved in intelligence gathering and cryptocurrency theft.
��️♀️ Modus Operandi Revealed ????️♂️
The attackers used Operational Relay Boxes (ORBs) with L2TP IPsec tunnels and commercial VPN providers to disguise their origins. However, an oversight led to the exposure of their 175.45.178[.]0/24 subnet during the breach.
???? Date of Attack ????
The intrusion occurred on June 22, 2023, through a sophisticated spear-phishing campaign. This allowed the hackers to breach less than five customers and fewer than ten systems in a software supply chain attack.
Stay vigilant against such threats! ????????

???? New Realst Malware Targets macOS: Protect Your Crypto! ????????️
Attention macOS users! A dangerous new malware family, Realst, is on the prowl, specifically targeting Apple systems, including the upcoming macOS 14 Sonoma. ???? So-No!
???? Notable Targets ????
Realst targets popular web browsers like Brave, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Vivaldi. However, Apple Safari remains an exception. The malware can also snoop on Telegram and take screenshots.
???? How it Works ????
Written in Rust programming language, Realst disguises itself as fake blockchain games like Brawl Earth, WildWorld, and more. Once installed, it can "empty crypto wallets and steal stored passwords and browser data" on both Windows and macOS devices. ????
???? The Modus Operandi ????
Realst Infostealer spreads through malicious websites promoting these phoney games. Cybercriminals even use direct messages on social media, tricking users into testing the games for "paid collaborations." But beware, it's a trap! ????
Once executed, the malware wreaks havoc on your crypto wallets and sensitive information ????????????
????️ Top Tips:
Make sure to stay cautious while downloading games and apps. Only trust official sources, and be wary of unexpected messages offering paid collaborations.
Keep your security software up-to-date to safeguard against this growing threat.
Stay safe, cyber-squad, and protect your crypto assets! ????????
