๐จ Security Alert๐จ
North Korean hackers are escalating attacks on crypto firms (and their employees) with malicious PDFs posing as legitimate documents.
๐ These PDFs, once opened, install malware, granting unauthorized access to sensitive systems and data.
๐ The FBI has warned of these advanced social engineering tactics, stressing the need for vigilance.
๐ Now more than ever, Tier 1 cybersecurity measures are essential to protect assets in the crypto space, and it starts with knowledge.
