According to this Cointelegraph article hackers targeted people who’re looking for jobs in the crypto sector, and the hackers carried out this hack by creating an ad on LinkedIn, and then asked users to download an application form which had malicious code inside it.
It goes without saying that once the user downloaded the form then the virus began to steal all the login details stored on the device, and it even stole crypto’s if it was stored on that device.
Further as I have advised here in the past, and I’ll once again advise that people should secure their system with a good antivirus in place, because virus can come from places you least expect and can cause irreversible damage.
According to a report by the Finnish cyber security and privacy firm, F-Secure, the latest Lazarus attack was made through a crypto-related job advert on the site.
According to data by VirusTotal, the original malicious macro was created in 2019, with 37 antivirus engines having reported it.
