North Korean hackers exploited previously unknown bug in Chrome browsers to steal cryptocurrency
Hackers created fake crypto trading platform websites. These websites were then used to distribute fake job postings or lure people into downloading wallets or trading apps.
The attack began from the moment the site was visited, at which time the malicious code began to be executed.
Taking advantage of another vulnerability in the Windows kernel, hackers installed a rootkit on the victim's computer. At this point, the victim has virtually no chance of defending himself, and the hackers can completely control his computer.
The first use of the bug was recorded on August 19, and the problem was resolved on August 21.
The Citrine Sleet group was behind the hack.
The number of victims is unknown.
