Methods and Consequences

Security experts at the Cyberwarcon conference disclosed new tactics used by North Korean hackers, who are posing as job applicants seeking positions at multinational companies. Their goal is to generate revenue for the North Korean government and steal corporate secrets to support the country's nuclear program.

Economic Impact

North Korean hacking groups like Lazarus have employed various scam techniques, leading to the loss of billions of dollars. Companies such as PlayDapp, WazirX, and Orbit Chain have suffered. Despite these events, cryptocurrency prices continue to climb.

The attacks by North Korean hackers highlight the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures and stricter regulation in the cryptocurrency industry to prevent further financial losses and national security threats.
