vedalia

Also known asvedalia

Vedalia is a North Korea-linked espionage group also known as APT37. The provided content identifies Vedalia as the first known threat actor to use the Microsoft Graph API for command-and-control. It developed the Bluelight malware, a second-stage payload capable of communicating with multiple cloud services for C2. Volexity analyzed a Bluelight variant that used the Graph API to communicate with Microsoft OneDrive. The content places Vedalia/APT37 in the broader trend of state-linked espionage actors abusing trusted cloud services to blend malicious traffic with legitimate activity.
