According to CoinMeta, Jeremy Robertson, the head of counter-espionage and cyber affairs at the Los Angeles division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), stated that North Korean hackers stole over $400 million in crypto assets over 18 months using Facedealer tactics. The hackers hijacked accounts belonging to industry insiders Telegram or LinkedIn, pretended to invite targets to fake Zoom or Teams meetings, and induced targets to run malicious programs by recording camera footage and forging error messages, resulting in the loss of computers, crypto wallets, and social media accounts. FBI has identified and blocked videos related to more than 900 victims, all of whom are senior practitioners in the fields of crypto and cybersecurity. FBI pointed out that the theft of approximately $6.3 billion from Binance last month was the work of North Korean TraderTraitor, although North Korea denies these allegations.
