BitMEX Hit by ‘Unsophisticated’ Phishing Attack from Lazarus Group

BitMEX recently faced a phishing attack linked to the North Korean Lazarus Group, which aimed to compromise employees through deceptive emails in May 2020. The attack, despite being relatively simple, targeted BitMEX personnel through fake job offers and malicious attachments designed to steal login credentials. However, BitMEX’s security team was swift in detecting and preventing any breach of customer funds or sensitive information.
