According to Odaily, North Korean hackers have launched a cyberattack named 'Operation 99' targeting Web3 and cryptocurrency software developers. The attack begins with fake recruiters on platforms like LinkedIn, luring developers with project testing and code review opportunities. Once the developers are engaged, they are directed to clone a malicious GitLab repository. Although it appears harmless, the cloned code connects to a command and control (C2) server, embedding malware into the victim's environment and gaining control over their computers.
