North Korean hackers recently used deepfake technology in an attempt to impersonate executives from a cryptocurrency foundation, staging a convincing Zoom meeting to deceive an unsuspecting employee, according to cybersecurity firm Huntress.
Although it’s unclear if their hack was successful, investigators believe the group’s goal was to access and steal cryptocurrency linked to the victim’s organization. The fact that their attack targeted a system running macOS only highlights the increasing sophistication of AI-driven attacks around the globe.
“Over the last few years, we have seen macOS become a larger target for threat actors, especially with regard to highly sophisticated, state-sponsored attackers,” a spokesperson for Huntress said in a recent interview.
