ООН: половина доходов Северной Кореи в иностранной валюте получена от кибератак

Около половины доходов Северной Кореи в иностранной валюте получено в результате кибератак, в том числе на криптовалютные компании. Об этом пишет Yonhap со ссылкой на доклад Совета безопасности ООН.

Согласно подсчетам организации, с 2017 по 2023 год хакеры КНДР нанесли ущерб, эквивалентный $3 млрд. Эти средства в дальнейшем были использованы

для финансирования разработки оружия массового уничтожения.

Эти оценки сходятся с ранее представленными подсчетами специалистов Recorded Future, а также с выводами The Wall Street Journal.

Хотя доклад ООН сам по себе не имеет авторитета, глобальный орган безопасности может принять дополнительные санкции в отношении Северной Кореи, пишет газета Nikkei.

🚨 MAJOR CRYPTO THEFT ALERT! 🚨

Another significant crypto theft has occurred today, resulting in a whale losing $71 million worth of #Bitcoin (BTC) to hackers. The victim lost 1,155 #WBTC to a phishing attack.

According to Look On-Chain, a leading data provider, here's what happened:
- The victim created a new address and transferred 0.05 ETH to it.
- The fraudster then created a similar-looking address and transferred 0 ETH to himself, making the transfer appear in the transaction history.
- Many wallets hide the middle part of the address, making it harder to differentiate.
- When the victim attempted to transfer WBTC to the new address, they accidentally copied the fraudster's address and sent all WBTC to them.

This incident serves as a reminder to double-check every transfer to prevent falling victim to crypto hackers.

🚨 Hackers Use Chrome Plugin to Steal Millions from Binance Accounts! 🚨

🔒 Protect Your Crypto Assets from Malicious Chrome Extensions

In a recent wave of cyber attacks, hackers have exploited a malicious Chrome plugin to siphon off millions from Binance accounts. This sophisticated attack highlights the evolving threats in the crypto space, urging users to enhance their security measures.

How Did It Happen? 🕵️‍♂️
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered that a malicious Chrome extension, disguised as a legitimate tool, was used to steal sensitive information from users' browsers. These extensions can log keystrokes, inject malicious code, and even take control of users' browsers remotely.

The attackers distributed the malicious plugin outside the official Chrome Web Store, relying on unsuspecting users to install it. Once installed, the plugin could steal login credentials, execute unauthorized transactions, and transfer funds without the user's knowledge.

Binance has been proactive in addressing these security breaches. The exchange has implemented additional security measures and is continuously monitoring for suspicious activities. They have also issued guidelines for users to safeguard their accounts, including:

1. Regularly Review Installed Extensions: Only keep necessary and trusted extensions.
2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Add an extra layer of security to your accounts.
3. Monitor Account Activity: Frequently check for unauthorized transactions.

Staying Safe: Best Practices 🧩
To avoid falling victim to such attacks, users should:

1. Install Extensions Only from Trusted Sources: Always download extensions from the official Chrome Web Store.
2. Use Strong, Unique Passwords: Combine letters, numbers, and symbols to create complex passwords.
3. Be Wary of Phishing Attempts: Do not click on suspicious links or provide personal information to unverified sources.

The Bigger Picture 🌍
This incident is a stark reminder of the importance of cybersecurity in the crypto world.

This screenshot, is one of the most dangerous thing in web3 right now.

Don't know why? Let me explain...

This is the preferred method that Discord phishers are using lately.

It is a pop up window, it looks like one your browser made, but it isn't.

It is javascript, and you never left the webpage they sent you to. Usually fake Discord verification bot page.

Entering your Discord information on this page will not send it to Discord, it is sending it straight to the attacker.

totp 2FA will not save you (a security key here probably would save you.)

This Browser-in-the-Browser attack is easy to foil, here's how you protect yourself:

NEVER SIGN INTO ANY SERVICE THAT POPS UP IN A NEW WINDOW FROM A LINK.

Close the pop up, open a new browser window. Navigate to the service yourself. Log in there.

That's it, do that every time. This can apply to crypto too. Never sign a txn that pops up after clicking a link someone sent you.

⚠️Guys, I hope you stick to your crypto security.
#Hackers / #scammers work 24/7 to reach to your wallets.

As much as it seems like it's always happening to someone else, there's never enough caution.

🔐A couple of tips:
1) If you have a crypto wallet for a long time, from time to time create a completely new seed.
2) Always keep the seed offline and only on paper - don't take a picture with a mobile phone, or put it on a drive or anywhere online🚫
3) Recommendation for a hardware wallet - Ledger/Trezor or another.
4) Keep most of the funds in a hardware wallet that is only used for sending and receiving (not for merging, not for trading)

Prevention is better than cure.
