CLEANTOAD is a Windows malware tool associated with APT38, a financially motivated cluster linked to the Lazarus Group and BlueNoroff. Public reporting ties it to North Korean intrusion activity targeting financial organizations and related environments. The only high-confidence behavior directly established for CLEANTOAD is modification of the Windows Registry, indicating use in post-compromise system configuration changes, persistence support, or defense-evasion-related host manipulation. Available information does not support a more specific functional classification beyond its role as malware tooling used within Lazarus-linked operations.
