How did North Korean hackers launder $774 million using ChatGPT and NFTs? Wow! 🤯
What's up, buddies! Check out this serious stuff that the cyber world brings us. It turns out that North Korean hackers, those known as the famous "Lazarus Group" (a gang of pure crooks!), just can't stop coming up with ways to steal millions of dollars in crypto and then launder it! 💰 It's said that they have moved astronomical figures, and it keeps going and going!
These guys are true masters of deception. They use everything: from sending fake emails with job offers that make your eyes shine (so you fall right in and open the door to your accounts!), to infiltrating companies as if they were normal developers. They are masters of disguise! 🎭
And when they finally have the digital cash in their hands, that's when the money laundering part comes in so that no one can track it! It's like putting dirty money in a giant cryptocurrency washing machine. They use decentralized platforms, move coins from one network to another, and even use services called "mixers" to lose track of the money. It's a financial black magic trick! 🪄
