A segment of the Lazarus hacker group, linked to North Korea, has established three fake companies, two in the US, to disseminate malware. These pseudo crypto consulting firms - BlockNovas, Angeloper Agency, and SoftGlide - are utilized by the North Korean hacker faction Contagious Interview to spread malware through deceptive job interviews, as per Silent Push analysts. The hackers use various strains of malware like BeaverTail, InvisibleFerret, and Otter Cookie to steal sensitive information, including crypto wallet keys. The scheme involves creating fake employee profiles with AI-generated images and stealing real people's photos. The FBI has shut down one of the companies involved in the operation. This ongoing malware campaign, active since 2024, has targeted developers, with at least one victim having their MetaMask wallet compromised. Lazarus Group is suspected in major crypto thefts, such as the Bybit and Ronin network hacks. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
