NORTH KOREAN HACKERS USE LINKEDIN FOR CRYPTOCURRENCY HEIST, REPORT REVEALS

'Evidence suggests this is part of an ongoing campaign targeting organisations in over a dozen countries,' researcher say

Hackers linked to North Korea have used LinkedIn as part of a major heist to steal cryptocurrency, new research has revealed.

The notorious Lazarus Group, which was behind the 2014 cyber attacks on Sony, carried out an attack against a cryptocurrency organisation using a tailored job advert posted to the professional social network.

Researchers at the security firm F-Secure, who uncovered the attack, said it was part of a broader campaign targeting organisations in at least 14 different countries.

“Our research, which included insights from our incident response, managed detection and response, and tactical defence units, found that this attack bears a number of similarities with known Lazarus Group activity, so we’re confident they were behind the incident,” said Matt Lawrence, F-Secure’s director of detection response.

“The evidence also suggests this is part of an ongoing campaign targeting organisations in over a dozen countries, which makes the attribution important.”

So North Korea trying to hack cryptocurrency. I THINK, North Korean will not succeed their plan.
