Per cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab, both Mac and Windows OS users remain vulnerable to the groups ongoing hacking effort. Lazarus is understood to have launched the operation in November last year.
For this effort, the hacking group has created custom PowerShell scripts which communicate with malicious command & control (C2) servers and run commands initiated by the operator. The names of the C2 server script names are made to look like WordPress files or other open source projects.
