Hot Take:

Crypto execs, beware! If you’re about to spill your digital beans to a “CoinMarketCap journalist,” you might want to double-check that Zoom invite. It’s not every day someone asks you to switch to Polish mid-interview, unless it’s a phishing expedition with a side of kielbasa!

Key Points:

– Cybercriminals are impersonating CoinMarketCap journalists to target crypto execs.
– The scam involves fake interview requests leading to Zoom calls.
– Attackers use real names and photos for credibility.
– Zoom’s remote control feature is exploited to deploy malware.
– Victims risk data theft, malware infection, and crypto wallet loss.
