Analysts have noticed various attempts in recent years by hackers trying to breach entities in the aviation and aerospace industries, as well as related transportation fields. The operators typically use of off-the-shelf malware and deploy digital lures that refer to industry-specific topics like airline cargo conferences or machine parts. It now appears that most of those incidents were by the same group, according to cybersecurity firm Proofpoint. Dubbing the group “TA2541,” Proofpoint says the trail of evidence goes back to at least 2017, and the hackers remain a “consistent, active cybercrime threat.” Hundreds of different organizations have been targeted globally, with an emphasis on North America, Europe and the Middle East, the researchers say. Crime seems to be the main goal, says Sherrod DeGrippo, vice president of threat research and detection at Proofpoint, given TA2541’s targeting, its victims, its use of commodity malware and its high message volume. Campaigns ranging […]

Give someone an undetected software exploit and they’ll have access to a system for a day, the security researcher The Grugq once said, but teach them to phish and they’ll have “access for life.” North Korean hackers have been following that bit of social-engineering wisdom to a T. In recent years, they have consistently posed as job recruiters to try to phish their way into the networks of aerospace and defense firms on multiple continents. The latest activity— a months-long spying campaign against aerospace and defense firms — was revealed this week by researchers from McAfee. Malware from the campaign has been detected in the U.S. and Europe. The suspected North Korean hackers appear to be spearphishing their targets using Microsoft Word documents with job descriptions involving active defense contracts, according to McAfee. Their goal is to use that foothold to plant additional code to gather data on their targets, the researchers said. […]
