North Korean hackers affiliated with the Lazarus Group have established fake companies registered in the United States as part of a campaign to support North Korea's nuclear program and to target cryptocurrency developers. These hackers conducted fraudulent interviews to deceive developers into running malware-infected applications, enabling them to steal data and cryptocurrency wallets. This operation was detailed in reports by Reuters and CoinDesk. The campaign highlights ongoing cybersecurity threats involving state-sponsored actors exploiting the crypto industry. Meanwhile, the FBI has confirmed a $10 million bounty related to Chinese hackers, underscoring heightened efforts to combat cyber threats.
