North Korean Hackers Deploy OtterCookie Malware in Contagious Interview Campaign

North Korean threat actors, known as CL-STA-0240 or Famous Chollima, are deploying a new JavaScript malware called OtterCookie in their Contagious Interview campaign. OtterCookie, designed to steal data including cryptocurrency wallet keys, communicates with command-and-control servers and runs shell commands to facilitate data theft. This development, along with South Korean sanctions on individuals and organizations involved in a fraudulent IT worker scheme, highlights the ongoing threat posed by North Korean cyber activities.
