Contagious Interview Campaign Compromises 30,000 Devices, Steals $10.71M in Crypto
North Korean threat actors associated with the Contagious Interview campaign have compromised over 30,000 devices across more than 100 countries since at least 2022, targeting software developers and IT professionals in cryptocurrency, blockchain, and Web3 sectors. The attackers pose as recruiters on platforms like LinkedIn, offering fake job opportunities that lead to multi-stage malware infections. Malware families deployed include BeaverTail, InvisibleFerret, and RATatouille, enabling credential theft, cryptocurrency theft, and lateral movement into corporate networks. A related operation uses Western proxies recruited via Discord to bypass sanctions and identity checks, with North Korean IT workers using AI-generated identities to secure remote jobs and steal funds.

BeaverTail and OtterCookie evolve with a new Javascript module
Cisco Talos identified a new attack campaign linked to the DPRK-aligned threat group Famous Chollima, which uses social engineering through fake job offers to distribute trojanized Node.js applications. The campaign leverages malicious npm packages like 'node-nvm-ssh' and combines the BeaverTail and OtterCookie malware tools to steal credentials, cryptocurrency wallets, and system information. Recent evolution includes merged functionality between BeaverTail and OtterCookie, with new capabilities such as keylogging, screenshot capture, and clipboard monitoring delivered via a modular JavaScript-based framework.
