FBI Warns Crypto Sector of North Korean Threats

The FBI has issued a warning about North Korea’s growing cyber threats targeting the crypto industry. North Korean hackers are using advanced social engineering tactics to deceive employees of crypto businesses, including DeFi applications, and deploy malware to steal funds.

The agency highlighted a focus on crypto ETFs, signaling potential future attacks. Even companies with strong cybersecurity measures are at risk due to the sophistication of these schemes.

The FBI recommends businesses use multi-factor authentication, avoid storing wallet info online, and report suspicious activity immediately.
