A North Korea-linked group hacked devices via KakaoTalk, stole data, and remotely wiped phones and computers, using stealth tactics unprecedented in past attacks.
A North Korea-linked hacking group has launched a sophisticated cyberattack using malware to remotely control Android and PC devices, deleting photos, documents, and contacts, according to South Korea’s Genians Security Center.
The attackers spread malware via KakaoTalk, stole login credentials for Google and other services, and used location tracking to wait until victims were away before resetting devices to avoid detection.
They also distributed malicious software disguised as stress-relief apps to contacts and may have used webcams to confirm victims’ absence.
The coordinated tactic of device neutralization and account-based propagation is described as unprecedented in known North Korean cyber operations, signaling advanced tactics.
The attack follows a suspected short-range ballistic missile launch by North Korea, which South Korea condemned and called for de-escalation.
