Vitor Ventura from the Talos Outreach team joins the show this week to run down Talos' recent research into the Lazarus Group. This well-known North Korean state-sponsored threat actor is well known for their ransomware and cryptocurrency-related cyber attacks, but we recently found them launching a new information-stealing trojan targeting energy companies. Vitor talks about the new trojan, MagicRAT, and how it fits into their larger plans and motivations.
