🚨 The $625M Fake Job Offer: How Lazarus Infiltrated Axie Infinity! 🎣💸
In 2022, North Korea’s notorious Lazarus Group executed one of the largest heists in crypto history, draining $625 million from the Ronin Network (the sidechain behind Axie Infinity).
They didn't break complex smart contracts. Instead, they targeted the oldest vulnerability in tech: human psychology.
The attackers set up a fake recruitment agency and spent weeks courting a senior engineer with a high-paying dream offer. The moment the engineer opened the infected "offer letter" PDF, spyware compromised the machine—handing the hackers access to validator keys and granting full control over user funds.
It stands as the most expensive file download in financial history, proving that no matter how secure your blockchain is, social engineering remains the ultimate backdoor.
