FBI, Japan warn of North Korean crypto recruiter hacks

The FBI and Japan's NPA issued a joint warning that North Korea-linked hackers have infected 30,000+ devices across 100+ countries, stealing from 7,000+ crypto wallets and netting $10.71M. The attackers posed as recruiters at crypto, AI and NFT firms to distribute malware and compromise targets.

• The campaign used fake job-recruitment lures to deliver the infection.
• The takedown warning urges crypto firms and job seekers to treat unsolicited recruiting outreach as a risk vector.
