ESET attributes 2021 attacks in the Netherlands and Belgium to Lazarus with high confidence, citing malware modules, a code-signing certificate, and overlap with Operation In(ter)ception and Operation DreamJob tradecraft. The campaign used Amazon-themed fake job lures against an aerospace employee contacted through LinkedIn and a political journalist reached by email. After the lure documents were opened, Lazarus deployed droppers, loaders, HTTP(S) backdoors, uploaders and downloaders, including BLINDINGCAN-related tooling. The most notable component abused Dell’s signed DBUtil driver via CVE-2021-21551 to gain kernel memory access and disable multiple Windows monitoring mechanisms, helping the operators blind security products during data-exfiltration operations.
