ScarCruft Hacks Gaming Platform to Deploy BirdCall Malware on Android and Windows

North Korea-aligned state-sponsored hacking group ScarCruft has compromised a video game platform in a supply chain attack, infecting its components with a backdoor called BirdCall. The malware is believed to target ethnic Koreans living in China. Unlike previous versions of the backdoor that focused on Windows systems, this supply chain attack has expanded the malware’s reach to additional platforms.
