The infamous North Korean hacker group Lazarus has attacked several Japanese crypto funds through phishing and social engineering, according to a joint statement by local police and the Financial Services Agency of Japan.
Phishing is a form of hack that involves a malware-infected link being sent to a victim, a virus will be installed on the targeted computer when the link is clicked. Lazarus is said to have been sharing these links via email and social media.
The Japanese National Police Agency didn't reveal any of the companies involved or amounts stolen, but it did name the hacker group - something the agency rarely does before arrest, in order to prevent a potential hack from happening.
