"Lazarus Hack Russian Missile Maker as Moscow Pleas for Shells"

According to technical evidence reviewed by Reuters and an analysis conducted by security researchers, an elite group of North Korean (DPRK) hackers infiltrated the computer networks of a Russian missile developer for at least five months in 2022. Reuters discovered that cyber espionage teams with ties to the North Korean government, known as ScarCruft and Lazarus among security researchers, secretly installed stealthy digital backdoors into the systems of NPO Mashinostroyeniya, a rocket design bureau based in Reutov, which is a small town on the outskirts of Moscow. Reuters could not confirm whether any data was taken or what information may have been viewed during the breach. In the months following the digital break-in, Pyongyang announced several developments in its banned ballistic missile program, but it is unclear if this was linked to the breach. According to experts, the incident demonstrates that the isolated country will even target its allies, such as Russia, to acquire critical technologies. This article continues to discuss the breach of a major Russian missile developer by the Lazarus hacking group.
