Lazarus Group’s Sneaky Admin Panel: A Comedy of Errors in Cyber Espionage
The Lazarus Group has taken a page from the social engineering handbook, using LinkedIn to snare victims with fake job offers. Their command-and-control infrastructure is so centralized and slick, it might as well have an espresso machine! This operation targeted 233 victims globally, with the blame pointed at Pyongyang.

Hot Take:
Looks like the Lazarus Group is taking a page out of Silicon Valley’s playbook, using React and Node.js to run their cybercrime startup! Who knew hacking could have such a sophisticated tech stack? Maybe they’ll start doing TED Talks next about “disrupting” the cybersecurity landscape!
Key Points:
- Lazarus Group uses a web-based platform for managing its command-and-control infrastructure.
- The platform employs a React application and Node.js API for central management.
- Operation Phantom Circuit targeted the cryptocurrency sector with trojanized software.
- The campaign resulted in 233 victims globally, mainly in Brazil, France, and India.
- North Korean links confirmed via Astrill VPN and North Korean IP addresses.
