Lazarus Exploits Windows Zero-Day with Post-Quantum Key Exchange Tactics

Lazarus hackers have taken a cutting-edge approach, using a post-quantum key exchange to secure their command channel before exploiting a Windows zero-day vulnerability in a targeted campaign against defense and aerospace companies. They leveraged Kyber/ML-KEM, a key encapsulation scheme designed to withstand quantum computer attacks, to generate fresh key material and evade detection.
