CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to Cointelegraph, BitMEX thwarted a cyber attack by the North Korean Lazarus Group hackers, who targeted its employees through fake NFT partnership offers on LinkedIn. BitMEX stated that the hackers' strategy was not complex.
It is reported that the Lazarus Group contacted a BitMEX employee on LinkedIn, proposing an NFT partnership, with the real goal of enticing the employee to run malicious code from a GitHub repository. The employee flagged suspicious code after reviewing the codebase, and BitMEX's security team quickly investigated, identifying obfuscated JavaScript and tracing it back to infrastructure associated with Lazarus.
