North Korean hackers have stolen more than $400 million worth of cryptocurrency through fake video calls.
The FBI has announced the identification of a cyber campaign attributed to North Korean hackers called FaceStealer that targeted more than 900 people and stole more than $400 million in cryptocurrency over 18 months through fake video calls and identity theft.
In this method, attackers with fake or hacked social media accounts invite people to interviews or video calls using fake versions of platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet. They then play pre-recorded videos of people known to the victim to make the conversation sound real.
