The FBI says North Korea used deepfake video calls to steal $400 million in crypto. Could you protect yourself from this scam? FaceStealer’s approach isn’t complicated: first, it plays a prerecorded clip of someone you know, then uses AI to replace their face with someone you trust. The person on the video call urges you to install something, and the Trojan gets in. Meanwhile, the DOJ is moving ahead with efforts to seize $1.2 billion in the Binance hacking case, while North Korean hackers are also laundering money through memecoins. I’ve been tracking this attack chain for a while. The problem isn’t sophisticated technology—it’s that it exploits the trust we place in a familiar face. If someone on a video call asks you to install software, hang up and call back to verify by voice. $BTC
