PANews August 5 news, according to Decrypt reports, based on research by Google Cloud and cybersecurity company Wiz, North Korean hacker groups are infiltrating cloud systems through fake IT job offers, expected to have stolen $1.6 billion in Crypto Assets by 2025. The research shows that the hacker team code-named UNC4899 (also known as TraderTraitor, Jade Sleet or Slow Pisces) pretends to be recruiters on social media, luring target company employees to run malicious programs, successfully infiltrating Google Cloud and AWS systems and hijacking Crypto Assets trading hosts. Wiz stated that TraderTraitor represents a type of threat activity, rather than a specific group, supported by North Korean entities Lazarus Group, APT38, BlueNoroff, and Stardust C.

Slow Pisces, a North Korean hacking group, used fake job postings to trick cryptocurrency developers into opening malware links to steal information through GitHub challenge devices. The scam raises security concerns. (Source: Cointelegraph)
