North Korea's Kimsuky Group Reportedly Uses AI-Generated Military ID Deepfakes in Phishing Campaign

Genians reported a phishing campaign by North Korea's Kimsuky group using purportedly AI-generated deepfake military ID cards. Emails reportedly impersonating South Korean defense institutions carried ZIP files with forged IDs whose photos were reportedly created using generative AI. When opened, hidden malware reportedly executed, downloading scripts disguised as Hancom Office updates. This reportedly marked an evolution in Kimsuky's tactics, using AI decoys to boost social engineering.
