Cyber Espionage Alert: North Korean Hackers Launch Malware Masquerading as Google Translate Extension

“North Korean hackers’ latest gag? A Chrome extension called TRANSLATEXT—less ‘lost in translation,’ more ‘finders keepers’ with your data!” Focus keyphrase: North Korean hackers.

Hot Take:

North Korean cyber shenanigans strike again! This time, they've gone all Hollywood spy-thriller on us, slipping a malware-infested Google Translate extension onto GitHub. Sneaky, sneaky! Who needs nuclear missiles when you can just hijack academia's emails and dissertations? Say "Annyeong" to your passwords and "Kim-Chi" to your cookies, because Kimsuky is back in town, and they're not interested in translating your Korean BBQ recipes.
