CoinsPaid claims North Korean hacking group used fake job interview to steal $37M By Cointelegraph

Estonia-based cryptocurrency payments firm CoinsPaid suspects North Korean hackers with the Lazarus Group gained access to its systems through fake recruiters targeting employees.

In an Aug. 7 blog post, CoinsPaid said an exploit which allowed hackers to steal more than $37 million on July 22 was the result of tricking one employee into downloading software during a fake job interview, having them believe they were completing a technical task. The firm reported that the worker responded to a job offer put out by hackers and downloaded the malicious code, allowing the bad actors to steal information and give them access to CoinsPaid’s infrastructure.
