# Establishing Persistence and Lateral Movement

## Context
Post-malicious code execution, the adversary is moving laterally within the network, aiming to establish persistence across multiple systems. This report delves into the techniques used by the Lazarus Group for lateral movement and persistence.

## Key Findings
- **Techniques Used**: The attackers are leveraging compromised credentials and exploiting existing vulnerabilities to move laterally within the organization’s network.
- **Persistence Mechanisms**: The group is using scheduled tasks and registry modifications to maintain access to compromised systems.
- **Targeted Assets**: Key systems identified include cryptocurrency wallets and financial transaction servers.

## Recommendations
- **Network Segmentation**: Strengthen network segmentation to limit lateral movement.
- **Monitoring and Detection**: Implement enhanced monitoring for unusual login activities and unauthorized access attempts.
