North Korean hackers are trying to break into crypto accounts by sending bogus job offers, a security provider has claimed.
The claims were made in a post by Proofpoint, a California-based security provider, and reported by the South Korean media outlets KBS and TVChosun.
Proofpoint claimed that a group named TA444 was behind the latest hacking drive. It called TA444 “a North Korea-sponsored advanced persistent threat group” that is “likely tasked with generating revenue for the North Korean regime.”
And the provider claimed that while TA444 was “historically involved in the targeting of banks,” it has “more recently [...] turned its attention to cryptocurrency.”
