"APT37 Hackers Deploy New FadeStealer Eavesdropping Malware"

The North Korean APT37 hacking group uses a new information-stealing malware called "FadeStealer" with a wiretapping feature, allowing the threat actor to eavesdrop and record from victims' microphones. It is believed that APT37, also known as Reaper and RedEyes, is a state-sponsored hacking group with a history of conducting cyber espionage attacks in line with North Korean interests. These attacks target North Korean defectors, academic institutions, and EU-based organizations. In the past, the hackers used custom malware known as "Dolphin" and "M2RAT" to execute commands and steal data, credentials, and screenshots from Windows devices and even mobile phones connected to the network. In a new report from the AhnLab Security Emergency Response Center (ASEC), researchers detail the new custom malware called "AblyGo backdoor" and "FadeStealer" that the threat actors have used in cyber espionage operations. This article continues to discuss the use of the new FadeStealer eavesdropping malware by the North Korean APT37 hacking group.
