The Lazarus Group hacking operation, thought to be controlled by the North Korean government, has a new malware toy to pitch at potential targets and the US is getting worried about it. This according to a report from US-Cert, which say that the group (also known as “Hidden Cobra”) has a new piece of spyware capable of securely connecting to a control server and uploading pilfered files from infected machine. Known as “Hoplight,” the malware is a collection of nine files, though most of those are designed to work as obfuscation layers to keep admins and security software from spotting the attack.
