The technique applies quantum-resistant cryptography to conceal malicious activity from defenders.", "body_md": "The Lazarus hackers are taking malware delivery to the next level by using post-quantum encryption, a cutting-edge technique that makes it extremely difficult to detect their malicious activities. By embedding ML-KEM-1024, a NIST-approved mechanism, into their malware, they're future-proofing their attacks against even the most advanced security systems.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lazarus-hackers-deploy-post-quantum-encryption-for-malware-delivery", "canonical_source": "https://osintsights.com/lazarus-hackers-deploy-post-quantum-encryption-for-malware-delivery", "published_at": "2026-10-21 20:51:06+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-21 21:13:36.259965+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-safety"], "entities": ["Lazarus", "NIST", "ML-KEM-1024"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lazarus-hackers-deploy-post-quantum-encryption-for-malware-delivery", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lazarus-hackers-deploy-post-quantum-encryption-for-malware-delivery.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lazarus-hackers-deploy-post-quantum-encryption-for-malware-delivery.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lazarus-hackers-deploy-post-quantum-encryption-for-malware-delivery.jsonld"}}
