The FBI has warned that North Korean hackers are "aggressively targeting" web3 and cryptocurrency employees, using sophisticated social engineering tactics to steal crypto assets. These hackers conduct detailed research on potential targets and employ methods like impersonating company members and tricking victims into downloading malicious software.

To counter these threats, the FBI advises firms to avoid storing crypto wallet information on internet-connected devices and to implement verification systems through separate communication platforms. This alert follows reports that North Korean cybercriminals have caused over $3 billion in crypto asset losses as of July 2024.
