Die Sonne, der lebenserhaltende Motor der Erde, erzeugt ihre gewaltige Energie durch den Prozess der Kernfusion. Gleichzeitig setzt sie dabei einen kontinuierlichen Strom von Neutrinos frei – Teilchen, die als Boten für ihre innere Dynamik fungieren. Obwohl moderne Neutrinodetektoren das gegenwärtige Verhalten der Sonne enthüllen, bleiben bezüglich ihrer über Millionen von Jahren andauernden Stabilität wesentliche Fragen bestehen – ein Zeitraum, der ...
Proofpoint has been tracking #TA427, a North Korea-aligned threat actor, for years.
Recently, the team observed changes in the group's tactics and targeting, including exploiting #DMARC and web beacons.
Greg Lesnewich shared his insight with The CyberWire Research Saturday podcast host Dave Bittner.

Greg Lesnewich, senior threat researcher at Proofpoint, sits down to discuss "From Social Engineering to DMARC Abuse: TA427’s Art of Information Gathering." Since 2023, TA427 has directly solicited foreign policy experts for their opinions on nuclear disarmament, US-ROK policies, and sanction topics via benign conversation starting emails. The research states "While our researchers have consistently observed TA427 rely on social engineering tactics and regularly rotating its email infrastructure, in December 2023 the threat actor began to abuse lax Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) policies to spoof various personas and, in February 2024, began incorporating web beacons for target profiling."
Proofpoint’s threat research team has been tracking state-aligned actors for years. In a new report, they detail TA427, a group observed using new tactics, including persona spoofing and the incorporation of web beacons.
Get to know advanced persistent threat (APT) #TA427:
👋 Also goes by #EmeraldSleet, #APT43, #THALLIUM, #Kimsuky
🤝 Likely supports #DPRK intelligence on US and ROK foreign policy
🔥 A savvy #socialengineering expert
💬 Likes the long game: builds rapport with targets over weeks/months
🥸 Uses multiple aliases, usually small/under-resourced think tanks and NGOs
😈 Seen abusing #DMARC, spoofing private email accounts, and typosquatting
Explore the blog, and help spread the word about TA427’s prolific activity so potential targets are prepared to protect their people and defend their data.
Key takeaways TA427 regularly engages in benign conversation starter campaigns to establish contact with targets for long-term exchanges of information on topics of strategic importance to the No...
