The infamous hacking group has stolen over $3 billion in crypto assets since 2009.
Lazarus group first surfaced in 2009, and since then, it has primarily targeted crypto firms, stealing billions of dollars worth of assets.
The North Korean hacker group Lazarus is using LinkedIn to target vulnerable users and steal their assets via targeted malware attacks. The incident came to light after blockchain security analytics firm SlowMist revealed that Lazarus group hackers are pretending to look for jobs as blockchain developers in the cryptocurrency industry through LinkedIn.
SlowMist claimed hackers steal confidential employee credentials after inviting access to their repository to run relevant code. The code snippets the hacker runs contain malicious code that steals confidential information and assets.After contacting victims via LinkedIn, the fake recruiter requested that the targeted “applicants” download two coding challenges as part of the hiring procedure.
Although crypto firms are often the target of hacker groups, the decentralized nature of blockchain makes it difficult for them to move their funds. Once identified, they are often tracked and blocked with the help of crypto platforms.Nigeria’s central bank forced to deny claims of crypto account freezeSEC targets Uniswap Labs, raising concerns over open-source code liability
