NSHC’s August 2024 roundup records six SectorA activity clusters and says they continued intelligence collection tied to Korean government interests while also pursuing financial gain worldwide. SectorA01 used recruiter impersonation and compressed files named like hiring tests or source-code review tests across dozens of countries, while SectorA06 targeted macOS cryptocurrency users with Mach-O malware disguised as Bitcoin price documents. Other SectorA activity included a Windows Scripting Engine exploit in South Korea, exploitation of vaccine software management systems to collect system and network access data, CHM files disguised as National Assembly schedule notices with DLL side-loading, and LNK files posing as cryptocurrency project update requests. The SectorA section is the DPRK-relevant portion of this broad multi-actor report, so the summary does not foreground unrelated SectorB PlugX or web-shell activity.
