ChainCatcher news, reported by Bitcoin.com, social engineering attacks are increasingly targeting the cryptocurrency industry. Blockchain expert Tay revealed that threat actors impersonate recruiters from companies like Kraken, Gemini, and Meta to lure victims. They initiate contact via LinkedIn or Telegram, offering enticing job opportunities, and then victims are directed to a fake video interview website where they unknowingly install malware, allowing attackers to access their computers and potentially drain their cryptocurrency wallets.

Job seekers need to remain vigilant as these malicious tactics can have devastating consequences, and they should stay safe and cautious throughout the job search process.
