North Korean hackers used fake video calls in $400M crypto hack, says FBI

North Korean state-sponsored hackers have stolen over $400 million in cryptocurrency through a scheme called FaceStealer, which uses fake video calls to trick victims into downloading malware. The FBI reports that more than 900 victims in the cryptocurrency and tech sectors have been targeted in the last 18 months, with hackers using imposter versions of platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams along with pre-recorded videos to convince targets to click malicious links. This follows a separate $6.3 billion cryptocurrency hack attributed to North Korea, highlighting the regime's reliance on cyber theft to fund its weapons programs.
