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

Posted on February 25, 2016 by Dissent

Michael Mimoso reports:

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.
