CZ: Pay attention to North Korean hacker threats, encryption projects should carefully screen candidates and train employees not to download files

ChainCatcher news, Binance founder CZ posted on X platform reminding crypto projects to be aware of North Korean hacker security threats. He mentioned: "These North Korean hackers are advanced, creative, and patient. I have seen/heard of (examples include): 1. They impersonate job seekers trying to find work at your company. This allows them to 'get their foot in the door.' They particularly like development, security, and finance positions. 2. They impersonate employers and try to interview/offer your employees. During the interview, they will say there is a problem with the Zoom software, and they will send your employees an 'update' link that contains a virus that will take over your employees' devices. Or they will give your employees a coding problem and then send some 'sample code.' 3. They impersonate users and send you links in customer support requests. The page linked will have some virus available for download. 4. They pay/bribe your employees or outsourced vendors to access data. Just a few months ago, a major outsourcing service in India was hacked, leaking user data from a major exchange in the U.S., resulting in user asset losses of over $400 million. Such things are still happening. For all crypto platforms, train your employees not to download files and carefully screen your candidates. Stay vigilant!"
