PANews February 11 News, according to Decrypt, Google’s security team Mandiant recently released a report warning that North Korea-linked hacker groups are using AI-generated deepfake videos and fake Zoom meetings to carry out more targeted cyberattacks on cryptocurrency and fintech companies.
The report states that the hacker group known as UNC1069 (or CryptoCore) recently infiltrated a fintech company by initiating a fake Zoom meeting through a hijacked Telegram account and used a deepfake video of a well-known cryptocurrency executive to gain trust during the meeting. The attackers, citing “audio issues,” tricked victims into running malicious commands, ultimately deploying seven different families of malware within their systems to steal credentials, browser data, and session tokens. The group primarily targets businesses and individuals in the cryptocurrency industry, including software companies, venture capital firms, and their employees.
