FBI Issues New Crypto Attack Alert—Do These 4 Things Now
Forbes
A newly published public service warning from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, alert number I-090324-PSA, has warned of ongoing and aggressive attacks designed to steal cryptocurrency. The highly tailored and difficult-to-detect social engineering campaigns are, the FBI said, being conducted by state-sponsored hackers affiliated with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The North Korean attacks are aimed primarily at employees of crypto and finance companies, in particular “organizations with access to large quantities of cryptocurrency-related assets or products.”
Even Those Well Versed In Cybersecurity At Risk, FBI Warns
The FBI has said that the North Korean crypto-stealing campaign is complex, elaborate, and persistent. This means that even victims with considerable technical acumen and cybersecurity skills are vulnerable to compromise. As such, the determination of the state-sponsored attackers to compromise networks associated with crypto assets should not be underestimated.
