FireEye recently released details on a particularly aggressive threat
group that we believe is responsible for conducting financial crime on
behalf of the North Korean regime, stealing millions of dollars from
banks worldwide. We refer to this group as APT38.
In this segment, we welcome two core contributors to the APT38 report:
Nalani Fraser, Manager of the Advanced Analysis Team, and Jackie
O’Leary, Senior Analyst on the Advanced Analysis Team. As soon as
Nalani and Jackie joined us, we wasted no time getting into the
specifics about their research into APT38, including how long they’d
been tracking them, what makes the group unique, what are the group’s
tactics, techniques and procedures, and what it means to be upgraded
to an APT group. Unlike all of our other show guests, they aren’t on
Twitter – which makes us sad.
