NSHC observed SectorA activity targeting developers, financial institutions, government agencies, and human rights organizations through compromised repositories, spear phishing, malicious LNK files, and social-engineering lures impersonating recruiters or trusted entities. The DPRK-linked activity abused Visual Studio Code task configurations to execute embedded commands from cloned repositories, deployed RATs and wallet-targeting malware, and used LNK files to deliver ROKRAT and NubSpy through obfuscated multi-stage payloads. The report also describes SectorA use of AutoIt, PowerShell, JavaScript, DLL side-loading, steganography, GitHub or cloud-service C2, and modular components including Chrome information stealers and MetaMask injectors.
