According to @zachxbt, researchers at Cisco Talos have identified a North Korean hacking group, known as Famous Chollima, targeting cryptocurrency workers with new Python-based malware called PylangGhost. The attack vector involves impersonating major crypto firms like Coinbase, Robinhood, and Uniswap through fake job applications to trick individuals into installing the malware. This Remote Access Trojan (RAT) is designed to steal sensitive data from over 80 browser extensions, including critical crypto wallets like MetaMask, Phantom, and TronLink, posing a direct threat to user assets and company security. In a related development for industry security, former FBI Supervisory Special Agent Christopher Wong, who co-led the investigation into the $3.6 billion Bitfinex hack and the Axie Infinity Ronin Bridge breach, has joined blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs. This move signals a significant enhancement in the private sector's capabilities to track and combat illicit crypto activities, a crucial development for investor confidence.
