Recent investigations have uncovered new infrastructure associated with a suspected DPRK campaign targeting users. The analysis reveals techniques for detecting SparkRAT servers in the wild and examines the evolution of the campaign's delivery tactics. Three additional servers were identified, hosting open directories with SparkRAT implants.
