The North Korean hacker group Lazarus has set its sights on the crypto industry, using a clever tactic to infiltrate companies and steal valuable assets. By posing as job-seeking blockchain developers on LinkedIn, these hackers are able to gain access to sensitive information and launch malware attacks.

Despite efforts by crypto exchanges to freeze assets linked to Lazarus, the group’s evolving tactics serve as a stark reminder of the importance of robust security measures in the digital asset space. As cybercriminals continue to adapt and innovate, it is crucial for companies and individuals in the crypto industry to remain vigilant and proactive in protecting their assets.
