North Korean Hackers Use "Fake Interviews" for Phishing, At Least 20 Organizations Affected

Cybersecurity firm Recorded Future recently disclosed that North Korea-linked hacker group PurpleBravo is conducting cyberattacks through "fake recruitment interviews," targeting over 3,100 IP addresses related to AI, cryptocurrency, and finance, with at least 20 organizations impacted.

The attackers impersonate HR or developers, using "technical interviews" or "coding tests" to trick job seekers into running malicious code or downloading files disguised as common development tools, thereby implanting malware.

Common malware includes information theft and remote control Trojans, capable of stealing private data and remaining hidden for long periods.

Victims are mainly located in South Asia and North America, involving industries such as AI, blockchain, DeFi, finance, and IT services. Research indicates that this operation may further spread through developer devices, amplifying supply chain risks.

Reminder: When running unknown code or files, always stay vigilant and, if necessary, test in a virtual machine or sandbox environment.
