Not because it was untypically sophisticated or because it used some completely new technique, but rather because its authors took advantage of one of the less commonly misused aspects of the URI format – the ability to specify information about a user in the URI before its "host" part (domain or IP address). --------------------------------------------- https://isc.sans.edu/diary/rss/31288 ∗∗∗ Staying a Step Ahead: Mitigating the DPRK IT Worker Threat ∗∗∗ --------------------------------------------- This report aims to increase awareness of the DPRK's efforts to obtain employment as IT workers and shed light on their operational tactics for obtaining employment and maintaining access to corporate systems.
