North Korean hackers have stolen over $400 million in cryptocurrencies using fake video calls to obtain identity data. More than 900 victims have been reported in the last 18 months, according to U.S. authorities. The FBI describes this scam, named "FaceStealer," as a highly effective social engineering scheme. The hackers exploit trust in video conferencing platforms and personal relationships, tricking victims into downloading malware. This method has targeted individuals in the cryptocurrency and web3 sectors, particularly those involved in open-source software development. The announcement follows a record $6.3 billion theft from Binance, attributed to North Korean actors, which they deny.
