North Korea’s Lazarus Group sharing tools with ransomware hackers, South Korean agencies warn

South Korean agencies report that North Korea's Lazarus Group has shared cyberattack tools and infrastructure with ransomware criminals who target South Korean organizations. This development suggests growing collaboration between state-sponsored actors from Pyongyang and the ransomware criminal ecosystem.

Why it matters: South Korean organizations and their global partners face elevated risk from technically sophisticated ransomware attacks leveraging nation-state capabilities; security teams should assume Lazarus Group tradecraft is now in criminal hands.
