Warning from the AI-based hacking front! 🚨
Changpeng Zhao, former CEO of Binance, just issued an alarming warning about the next-level dangers of AI-based hacks. Forget about trusting video call verifications — it's said that this will soon become a thing of the past.
The account of Japanese crypto influencer Mai Fujimoto was hacked after she accidentally joined a Zoom video call with a deepfake posing as someone she knows. The attacker tricked her into clicking a malicious link disguised as an audio news story. After that, her Telegram and Metamask wallets were compromised.
This case is not isolated. A group linked to North Korea, BlueNoroff, has used the same deepfake tactics to target crypto fund employees — luring victims to download malware that steals sensitive information, records screens, and logs keystrokes.
The world of cryptocurrency and remote workers has come under scrutiny. If you are in these fields, be especially careful — never click links from unofficial sources, even if they are sent through a trusted video call. The future of security will become much more complex... and dangerous.
Stay vigilant. Be
all safe. 🚨
