0x40a7d723f5df6c88464bc95dbf7d96573fbc4f85 is a smart contract address that one published source reports in connection with EtherHiding / UNC5342 and unclustered DPRK activity, which public reporting attributes to North Korea (DPRK). It is cited here from Atos Threat Research Center. The report is dated 2026-04-14.

On-chain links

C2 hosts this address pointed malware at, newest first. Dates are when the value was written on-chain, and Transaction opens the one that first wrote it; a row without one is a tie a cited report states. A host whose verdict is decoy was written between real values and is not C2. See the EtherHiding Tracker.

Notes:

Ethereum contract that EtherRAT reads to find its command-and-control server, listed in Atos's appendix as created 2025-12-04 with 1 setString call when the appendix was compiled. It stores a mapping from operator wallet to URL: the operator writes the C2 with setString(string) and the implant reads it with getString(address) (selector 0x7d434425). On 2026-10-03 getString(0x14afddd627fb0e039365554f8bbdb881ecb1c708) against a public Ethereum node returned a URL, confirming the contract has this shape; the stored values are not recorded here because operators park the resolver on well-known domains between sessions. Atos names no actor of its own: it repeats Sysdig's link between EtherRAT and the DPRK Contagious Interview tooling and notes code overlap with a tool eSentire attributed to an Iranian group, so this entry is filed under the unattributed DPRK label.
