North Korean hackers stole $400 million worth of cryptocurrency through fake video calls.

▫ North Korean hackers are using fake Zoom, Teams and Google Meet video calls to trick victims into stealing their passwords. According to the FBI report, these attacks in the last 18 months claimed more than 900 victims and caused damages in the amount of more than 400 million dollars.

By impersonating known people or hacking into their social media accounts, hackers hold fake video calls and trick victims into installing malware to gain access to their information and assets. The FBI warns that this method is very effective due to advanced social engineering.
