North Korean “StegaBin” Supply Chain Attack via 26 Malicious npm Packages
Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new wave of supply-chain attacks attributed to North Korean state aligned threat actors, involving the publication of 26 malicious npm packages posing as legitimate developer tools. The campaign tracked as “StegaBin”, uses Pastebin based steganography to conceal command and control (C2) endpoints and ultimately deploy credential stealers and a cross platform remote access trojan (RAT). The infrastructure supporting these operations spans 31 Vercel deployments, highlighting a sophisticated and evolving threat to the global software supply chain.
