❌ The co-founder of Manta "targeted" by the Lazarus Group in an advanced phishing attempt via Zoom.
Kenny Lee stated that hackers from the Lazarus Group pretended to be contacts he knew, even appearing with their faces during a fake Zoom meeting to deceive him.
According to him, "everything seemed very real," but something raised his suspicions: the people appeared via video, but did not speak.
Then a prompt appeared for him to download a script "to fix the audio."
He said, "I left the meeting immediately."
To verify the person's identity, Lee asked to continue the conversation via Google Meet instead of Zoom.
But the alleged person immediately refused, and moments later all messages were deleted, and Lee was blocked.
Lee has no conclusive evidence that the Lazarus Group is behind the attack, but based on the method used, the level of advanced social engineering, and the execution style, it is likely that the North Korean group known for hacks is responsible for it.
Hackers are evolving and today use all available tools to deceive their victims.
