Techub News reports that, according to Decrypt, Google’s security team Mandiant has released a report stating that North Korea-linked hacker group UNC1069 (also known as CryptoCore) is using AI-generated deepfake videos and fake Zoom meetings to carry out highly targeted attacks against cryptocurrency and fintech companies. The report shows that the group initiates fake Zoom meetings through hijacked Telegram accounts and uses deepfake videos of well-known cryptocurrency executives during the meetings to gain trust. They then induce victims to execute malicious commands under the pretext of “audio malfunction,” ultimately deploying seven different families of malware to steal credentials, browser data, and session tokens. The primary targets are businesses and individuals in the cryptocurrency industry, including software companies, venture capital firms, and their employees.
