In the world of cybersecurity, the name ZachXBT has become synonymous with investigations and exposés. This independent blockchain researcher, known for his in-depth analyses of crypto fraud, recently criticized the popular myth of the "genius" of North Korean hackers. In his latest post on Twitter (now X), ZachXBT emphasized that these cybercriminals, linked to groups like Lazarus, are far from the "technical geniuses" they are made out to be.
According to the expert, many attacks attributed to North Korean hackers actually rely on simple tricks: phishing, social engineering, and exploitation of known vulnerabilities, rather than advanced technologies. "It's not genius, but hard work and state support," noted ZachXBT, referencing recent cases of cryptocurrency theft amounting to billions of dollars. He provided examples where "hackers" used basic tools available to anyone and emphasized that the myth of their superiority masks real threats and distracts from improving defenses.
This criticism is timely, given the rising attacks on crypto exchanges. ZachXBT urges the community to focus on facts, not myths, to effectively combat threats. His analysis highlights: true "genius" lies in prevention, not in exaggerating the enemy.
