ESET’s Q4 2023 to Q1 2024 APT overview says North Korea-aligned groups continued targeting aerospace, defense, and cryptocurrency organizations. The source highlights DPRK-linked tradecraft improvements through supply-chain attacks, trojanized software installers, new malware strains, and exploitation of software vulnerabilities. The DPRK section appears within a broader multi-actor APT report, so the North Korea-relevant finding is the continued focus on strategic industries and crypto revenue targets rather than the unrelated China, Iran, Russia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, or Belarus activity covered elsewhere.
