▪️ Everything I investigate starts with one of these to track pivots/clues.

💜 JumpCloud Intrusion | Attacker Infrastructure Links Compromise to North Korean APT Activity

I took a look into the IOCs shared by @JumpCloud and found links to APT Infrastructure we attribute to DPRK.

First lets look at UAC-0026:

Some (including me at first) are associating this with Symantec 2015's post on "Scarab", who was active since 2012.

At the time they were known to target a very small amount of individuals of interest (see map)
