The infamous Lazarus hacker collective has reappeared in a recent wave of cyberattacks, using a cunning plan to spread malware through infected Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) servers. Cybersecurity professionals are actively watching the situation to reduce any hazards as a result of the attacks, which have caused them great anxiety.
The Lazarus hackers, according to reports from SC Magazine and Bleeping Computer, have successfully taken control of a number of Microsoft IIS servers and are using their ability to spread malicious malware across different networks to their advantage. The spread of the hackers’ virus appears to be their main objective, which presents a serious risk to companies and organizations that depend on Microsoft’s web server software.
Symantec’s threat intelligence team recently made the attack vectors used by Lazarus public, highlighting the chutzpah with which the hackers used the hacked servers to further their evil ends. The malicious campaign was the Lazarus group’s dream job, according to Symantec, who highlighted the gravity of the problem in a blog post.
AhnLab’s security analysts have also provided insightful analysis of the ongoing attacks. They have been aggressively tracking the hackers’ whereabouts and have found startling proof of their vast powers. In both English and Korean blog entries, AhnLab’s research teams have warned users and administrators about the danger posed by Lazarus hackers and urged rapid security measures to prevent IIS servers from being attacked.
