According to a report from CoinWorld on August 13, Binance's Chief Security Officer Jimmy Su stated that the exchange platform receives a large number of fake resumes every day, and he is convinced that these resumes are written by potential North Korean attackers. In his view, state-sponsored attackers from North Korea represent the biggest threat facing companies in the crypto industry today. Su explained that North Korean attackers have been an issue during Binance's eight years of operation, but recently, their methods of attack have been upgraded within the crypto sector. "Currently, the biggest threat to the crypto industry comes from state-sponsored attackers, especially North Korea's Lazarus Group," Su added, "Over the past two to three years, they have focused on the crypto sector and have achieved significant success in their operations." He also mentioned, "Almost all major North Korean hacking incidents involve an individual masquerading as an employee to assist in carrying out the attack." Common attack methods used by North Korean state-sponsored attackers include embedding malicious code in public NPM libraries and sending fake job invitations to crypto practitioners. NPM (Node Package Manager) libraries or packages are collections of reusable code commonly used by developers. Malicious attackers can copy these packages and insert a tiny line of malicious code, which could lead to severe consequences while maintaining the original functionality. Even if the malicious code is discovered only once, it can gradually embed itself into the system as developers build new features on top of it. To guard against such risks, Binance must carefully review every line of code. Major crypto exchange platforms share security intelligence in Telegram and Signal groups to identify libraries that have been implanted with malicious code and emerging North Korean attack methods.
