CZ: Beware of the North Korean hacker threat. Crypto projects should carefully screen candidates and train employees not to download files.
2hours ago

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Binance founder CZ posted a message on the X platform, warning crypto projects about the security threat posed by North Korean hackers. He mentioned: "These North Korean hackers are sophisticated, creative, and patient. I've seen/heard of [examples]: 1. They impersonate job seekers and try to get a job at your company. This gets them a foot in the door. They particularly favor development, security, and finance positions. 2. They impersonate employers and try to interview/offer your employees. During the interview, they'll claim there's a problem with the Zoom software and send your employee an "update" link containing a virus that will take over your employee's device. Or they'll give your employee a coding problem and then send some "sample code." 3. They impersonate users and send you a link in a customer support request. The link will contain a downloadable virus. 4. They pay/bribe your employees and outsourcing vendors to access data. Just a few months ago, a major outsourcing service in India was hacked, leaking user data from a major US exchange, resulting in over $400 million in user assets lost. This continues. For all crypto platforms, train your employees not to download files and carefully screen your candidates. Stay vigilant!"
