### Overview
With persistence mechanisms in place, the Lazarus Group began moving laterally within the network to reach the SWIFT servers. This report outlines the strategies deployed to achieve this objective.

### Key Findings
- **Network Scanning**: Conducted thorough scans to map the internal network topology and identify pathways to SWIFT servers.
- **Use of Stolen Credentials**: Leveraged harvested credentials to access critical systems undetected.
- **Privilege Escalation**: Exploited vulnerabilities to escalate privileges and gain administrator access to SWIFT servers.

### Implications
Successfully accessing the SWIFT servers was a critical milestone, allowing the group to manipulate financial transactions, setting the stage for the next phase involving message manipulation.
