CrowdStrike has released its annual threat hunting report, detailing an alarming surge in cyber threats attributed to North Korean operatives who have exploited their technical skills by infiltrating foreign companies. These operatives, part of a state-sponsored group named Famous Chollima, executed nearly one incident response case per day over the past year, according to the report. A substantial 2,200% increase in incidents involving the group was noted, with Adam Meyers, senior vice president of counter adversary operations, highlighting the increased frequency of these attacks. The report indicates that generative AI tools have been instrumental in enabling these operatives to evade detection, from crafting resumes and creating false identities to managing multiple jobs simultaneously in various sectors worldwide. Additionally, the report identifies a 27% year-over-year increase in hands-on-keyboard intrusions, most of which involved no malware, underscoring the evolving tactics of cybercriminals and the need for continuous cybersecurity vigilance. CrowdStrike continues to expand its tracking of threat groups, having identified 14 new ones in the past six months and adding to its extensive matrix of cyber adversaries.
