A North Korea-linked hacking group known as Sapphire Sleet has reportedly stolen over $10 million in cryptocurrency through sophisticated social engineering tactics, including AI-driven scams on LinkedIn. The group has been involved in various cyber operations that pose significant national security threats, particularly in the realms of cryptocurrency theft and cyber espionage. The FBI has indicated that the North Korean government, officially known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), generates revenue through hacking activities targeting cryptocurrency exchanges. This incident highlights the ongoing risks associated with cyber threats and the need for vigilance, particularly among entrepreneurs and businesses engaging in digital transactions.
