Operation Blockbuster Coalition Ties Sony, Other Destructive Attacks to Lazarus Group

Posted on February 25, 2016 by Dissent

Michael Mimoso reports:

The nation-state sponsored hacker group allegedly behind the 2014 attack against Sony Pictures Entertainment has been linked to similar intrusions against a number of companies in South Korea including the Dark Seoul and Operation Troy attacks.

A coalition of security companies called Operation Blockbuster, including Kaspersky Lab, Novetta, AlienVault, Invincea, ThreatConnect, Volexity, Symantec, and PunchCyber today published reports chronicling the activities of the Lazarus Group and also simultaneously a week ago published detection signatures to their respective software in the hopes of disrupting the APT group’s activities.
