  1. Cybersecurity experts have linked the harmful code to North Korea’s Lazarus Group. The hacker unit uses a spectrum of vector attacks to steal funds for the administration. Pukhraj Singh, a former researcher at India’s National Technical Research Organization (NTRO), indicated via social media that the malware could be traced back to a recent VirusTotal finding.
  2. Dtrack is primarily configured as spyware and can collect keystrokes, list available files, and record browser history. It can additionally download other malware payloads.
  3. There are numerous strains of Dtrack malware in the wild. Investigators recently stumbled upon a bunch of them on Indian ATMs. They were programmed to read user card information.
  4. Questions pertaining to the latest attack on industrial systems linger because the Lazarus Group does not typically target such systems. Its most notable hacking campaigns have been tied to major crypto heists, some of which have led to hundreds of millions in losses.
