DPRK threat actors are still rekting way too many of you via their fake Zoom / fake Teams meets
2025-12-13 • Tay •
The archived thread describes DPRK-linked social-engineering activity that begins with compromised Telegram accounts and uses prior chat history to make fake meeting requests appear legitimate. Victims are steered through Calendly-style scheduling and fake Zoom or Teams pages where attackers claim an audio issue requires an SDK update or copied fix. On macOS, the update may be delivered as an AppleScript such as “Zoom Update SDK.scpt” with hidden malicious code, while the broader malware chains are described as affecting macOS, Windows, and Linux. The compromise is framed as credential and session theft targeting password managers, Apple Notes, Telegram sessions, seed phrases, SSH keys, AWS credentials, and ultimately cryptocurrency or organizational assets. The thread points readers to Kaspersky’s BlueNoroff GhostCall and GhostHire research and emphasizes immediate containment steps such as terminating Telegram sessions, rotating credentials, moving funds, and wiping compromised machines.
