North Korean Lazarus hacker group using LinkedIn to target and steal assets: Report
Lazarus group first surfaced in 2009, and since then, it has primarily targeted crypto firms, stealing billions of dollars worth of assets.
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.
