Researchers have discovered a new remote access trojan (RAT) called EarlyRat that has been used by North Korean threat actors in attacks that exploit the Log4j vulnerability in phishing campaigns. The researchers at Kaspersky are credited for identifying the new malware and attribute the EarlyRat trojan to the advanced persistent threat (APT) group Andariel (also known as Stonefly) a subgroup of North Korean state-sponsored threat operation Lazarus.
