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.
