Police Said North Korea’s Lazarus Group Attacks Japanese Crypto Firms

North Korea-backed hacker group Lazarus has been sending phishing emails to Japanese crypto exchange employees to infect their computers with malware, causing some companies to have their systems hacked and cryptocurrencies stolen, Japan’s National Police Agency announced last week. The police also said Lazarus had reached out to employees through social networking sites to persuade them to download the malware. The police and the Financial Services Agency of Japan asked local crypto businesses to remain vigilant for such attempts and to store their private keys offline in a joint statement. The authorities, however, did not reveal details on which companies had been targeted or hacked as a result of these phishing attacks.
