🥷 North Korean “devs” just pulled a slick $680K heist on Favrr!
Six operatives created 31 fake IDs, posing as crypto gurus, and slid into the fan-token market like they owned the place. They planted backdoors, snagged private keys, and drained funds while looking totally legit! 💸
➡️ Think fake LinkedIn profiles + Upwork accounts claiming to work at Polygon & OpenSea
➡️ Corporate espionage vibes: Google Docs for task lists, VPNs & rented PCs for stealth, all budgeted to the last cent
➡️ ZachXBT says this was insider theft — not some noob hack!
And here’s the kicker: DPRK swiped $1.34B in hacks this year (yep, 60% of global attacks) and snatched $1.5B in ETH from Bybit back in Feb! They’ve got around 8,400 IT operatives pulling double duty as freelancers to fund their weapons programs.
Bottom line? Not every threat comes from outside; sometimes it’s already on your payroll. 🧐💥 #CryptoHeist #InsiderThreat
