🔥 North Korean hackers have carried out a sophisticated fraud campaign, stealing over $300 million through fake video meetings, targeting managers of cryptocurrency companies. $BTC Security researcher Taylor Monahan from MetaMask revealed that the attack relies on 'long con' tactics, where attackers impersonate trusted identities using hacked Telegram accounts and reused video clips from real interviews, without relying on deepfake technologies. $ETH
🔥 The operation begins by building trust and then inviting the victim to a Zoom or Teams meeting, where a video appears to be live but is actually a recording. After that, a technical excuse is fabricated to convince the victim to download a malicious file that gives the attackers full control over the device, allowing them to steal wallets and sensitive data, and target new victims. Experts warn that any request to download software during calls should be considered a direct threat, especially since these attacks are part of a broader campaign that has stolen nearly $2 billion from the sector in a single year. $BNB
