In a groundbreaking revelation, cybersecurity researchers have uncovered that North Korean hackers are now ashamedly disguising their malware as harmless JSON files. Apparently, these cyber masterminds believe that by using JSON storage services, they can outsmart the IT experts, who clearly are too busy updating their LinkedIn profiles to notice.

The strategy, affectionately dubbed ‘Jackpot for Snazzy Operations Noticed’, involves hosting trojanized code projects that ever-so-subtly blend in with the endless clutter of JSON data. Who knew that the innocuous format commonly used by developers for data interchange could moonlight as a villainous disguise for malware?

Services like JSON Keeper and JSONsilo, now unwitting cyber accomplices, have become the go-to platforms for these digital delinquents. Analysts suggest that the threat actors failed to realize that their ‘genius’ plan might just be foiled by a simple syntax error or a misplaced semicolon, proving once and for all that hacking is just another form of buggy programming.
