😂 Dutch scam-busting blogger Deeveeaaar claimed he hacked the computers of a group of North Korean IT workers who were working remotely. When he turned on the camera, young men in military uniforms appeared on the screen. North Korean hackers have long used this scheme:💻 They use AI to fake résumés and pose as job seekers🌐 They hide their real location using VPNs🏢 They get hired by Western companies and gain access to work systems💰 They steal data and crypto assets, generating profits for North KoreaIn July this year, 11 countries, including the US, Japan and South Korea, jointly warned about this scheme involving North Korean IT workers. Estimates suggest that in 2024, this activity brought Pyongyang around $800 million.For the crypto industry, this is more than just an amusing story. Remote hiring, identity verification and managing internal access privileges—all of these can become entry points for an attack.And finally, the funniest detail: apparently, after the hacker opened his counterpart’s computer, he also found the game Counter-Strike on the desktop? 🤪 Maybe he was practicing shooting alongside the general! $BTC
