Also known asNorth Korean npm Attackers

The North Korean npm attackers are a threat actor group attributed to North Korea, known for leveraging GitHub infrastructure to conduct attacks against npm repositories. Their campaigns, referred to as 'Contagious Interview,' involve targeting the npm supply chain, compromising repositories, and potentially distributing malicious packages to downstream users. The group demonstrates advanced supply chain attack capabilities and has targeted a wide range of npm repositories, with incidents exposing over 25,000 repositories. Their tactics include abusing trusted developer infrastructure (such as GitHub and npm) to maximize reach and impact. No specific sub-groups or aliases are mentioned in the provided content.
