Kimsuky, a North Korean APT, is running a phishing campaign using AI-generated deepfake military ID images to trick recipients into opening a ZIP that executes hidden scripts; the attack chain downloads LhUdPC3G.bat from jiwooeng.co.kr and installs a persistent scheduled task (HncAutoUpdateTaskMachine) via batch and AutoIt scripts.
