The Lazarus Group, a North Korean cyber threat actor, is using LinkedIn to target organizations across various sectors. The group uses social engineering to establish contact, then moves communications to other platforms, and tricks victims into downloading malware. This includes posing as recruiters with fake job offers, which ultimately lead to malware infection. This activity highlights the risk of using LinkedIn for business purposes without proper security protocols and employee training and also indicates how social media can be used to target unsuspecting users and bypass common network security measures.
