Lazarus Used Post-Quantum Key Exchange to Deliver Zero-Day

Lazarus actors employed post-quantum cryptography during the delivery of a Windows zero-day exploit, protecting the payload exchange with cryptographic techniques designed to withstand future quantum computing threats. This represents an early adoption of quantum-resistant algorithms by a sophisticated threat actor for operational security.

Why it matters: Organizations defending against Lazarus should expect the group to evolve its operational security using quantum-resistant techniques; this signals a shift in how advanced adversaries may obscure exploit delivery and communications.
