Astonishing developments in cybersecurity reveal that North Korean threat actors, alias UNC1069, are not only adept at coding chaos but also possess a flair for theatrics. Their latest act? Convincing the maintainer of the beloved Axios npm package that they were a harmless startup. Spoiler alert: they weren’t.

Jason Saayman, the temporarily duped maintainer, admitted he fell for the cunning social engineering trick. The hackers, dressed metaphorically in sheep’s clothing, managed to slip past cybersecurity defenses with the ease of a Hollywood con artist. Move over, James Bond, there’s a new act in town.

In response to being outwitted by these cyber thespians, cybersecurity experts worldwide are reportedly engaged in intensive acting workshops, studying methods from ‘Stanislavski to Social Engineering.’
