North Korea has reportedly expanded from setting up fake employees at Western tech firms to siphon money into its nuclear weapons program to posting fake jobs in the cryptocurrency sector as part of a bid to steal applicants' crypto assets.
"North Korean hackers are saturating the cryptocurrency industry with credible-sounding job offers as part of their campaign to steal digital cash," Reuters today reported. "The problem is becoming so common that job applicants now regularly screen recruiters for signs they might be acting on Pyongyang's behalf."
