A comprehensive cybersecurity initiative has successfully identified and blocked over 1,800 suspected fraudulent job applications originating from North Korea since April 2024. This ongoing security operation underscores the growing sophistication of threats targeting the crypto and fintech sectors, highlighting why robust verification protocols remain essential for protecting exchange platforms and user assets.

Over 1,800 scam applications? North Korea still wants to come and dig our pit, alright...

1800 fake job postings, is this move really that harsh, sneaking into the exchange directly? --- North Korea is now starting to use social engineering, the crypto community's defenses are being pierced again --- Wait, how bored do you have to be to register fake positions in bulk... or is there another motive? --- No matter how good the verification protocol is, it can't prevent human nature. This is probably the biggest vulnerability. --- 1800? What are your exchange security teams doing? They didn't catch this at all. --- Ultimately, it's about targeting the source; you can't block it completely. --- It feels just like some companies' internal sabotage, just under an overseas name.

The number of 1800 malicious applications may not seem particularly high, but the underlying infiltration logic is worth analyzing—has North Korea changed its social engineering tactics?

1800 phishing job applications... This attack vector is interesting, but where is the audit report? I really want to see the details of the vulnerability reproduction.
