North Korea Hackers Use Job Scams to Target Crypto Firms

Fireblocks disrupted a North Korea-linked job recruitment scam that targeted crypto firms by using fake interviews and assignments to install malware. The hackers impersonated recruiters and conducted interviews via Google Meet, aiming to compromise developers with privileged access to digital assets. This operation mirrors tactics used by North Korea's Lazarus Group, which previously stole $1.5 billion from Bybit in 2025.
