Lazarus Hackers Deploy Post-Quantum Encryption for Malware Delivery

The Lazarus hacking group has embedded ML-KEM-1024, a NIST-approved post-quantum encryption mechanism, into its malware delivery to make the attacks harder to detect and to future-proof them against advanced security systems. The technique applies quantum-resistant cryptography to conceal malicious activity from defenders.
