🇰🇵 The North Korean group Lazarus is back on the hunt — this time with a new almost "invisible" virus called RemotePE.
The main issue is that this Trojan operates directly in RAM and leaves almost no traces. For most antivirus programs, it appears as a ghost. While companies think everything's calm, these attackers could be lurking in the infrastructure for months, gathering access.
Banks, crypto exchanges, and fintech are the primary targets. The scheme is old but still effective: they reach out on Telegram pretending to be employees from trading firms, offering to schedule a call or a "business meeting," and then they drop fake links under Calendly and Picktime — and once connected, a multi-stage malware download begins.
What's most concerning is that these attacks are not meant to cause a stir. This is quiet preparation for significant thefts.
According to analysts, in just the first months of 2026, Lazarus has already siphoned off around $577 million from crypto. That’s over 75% of all stolen crypto assets during this period.
If you look back to 2017, the total amount stolen is nearing $6 billion. And after this, some still wonder why paranoia in crypto isn't a downside, but a basic survival skill.
