North Korea’s Sneaky Job Scam: Lazarus Group Uses Fake Interviews to Fund Missiles
The Lazarus Group’s ClickFix scam is the ultimate “fake it till you make it” scheme—except here, the only thing job seekers are making is malware magic. North Korea’s hackers have a new HR department, and they’re hiring…your data! Keep an eye out, because “Rock Lee” might just be your next interviewer.
Hot Take:
North Korea’s Lazarus Group is at it again, proving that even in the world of crypto job interviews, you just can’t escape their “Lazarus-ly” long reach. Who knew that applying for a job could end in funding a missile program? Maybe they should call it “ClickFix-a-lot” because these hackers seem to have a knack for clicking all the wrong buttons for the right (or should I say, wrong?) reasons!
