Their early cyber activities set the stage for a later focus on cryptocurrency. Here is a brief outlook on their early hack history and evolution:

Operation Flame (2007): One of their earliest known ops. It targeted South Korean government systems.
Sony Pictures Hack (2014): A high-profile attack in retaliation for The Interview, a satirical film about North Korea's leader.
WannaCry Ransomware (2017): The largest ransomware attack. It hit over 230,000 computers in 150 countries.
Military Espionage: Ongoing efforts to gather intelligence on military operations and technology.
Attacks on South Korean Businesses: A series of cyber attacks on various sectors of the South Korean economy.
These early operations showed the group's skill. They were targeting a wide range of victims, from entertainment firms to critical infrastructure related to perceived enemies of the North Korean state.

Fascinating how early traces of their operations went unnoticed for so long. They’ve evolved massively over the years.

The Lazarus Group’s origins really show how organized cybercrime has become. Their early moves set the stage for future hacks.
