North Korea’s notorious Lazarus Group has infiltrated the cryptocurrency sector by creating fake companies to distribute malware in a sophisticated job scam. The group targeted individuals seeking remote work within the crypto industry using names like BlockNovas LLC, Angeloper Agency, and SoftGlide LLC. This tactic led victims to inadvertently install malicious software that steals sensitive information including cryptocurrency wallet keys. While there’s no immediate impact on the financial market, this incident highlights the vulnerability of the crypto sector and underscores the need for robust security measures and verification processes for remote job offers.
