Telegram used to steal crypto

Lazarus took over its AppleJeus malware that was created in 2018 and upgraded it. Hackers have also created fake cryptocurrency websites and fake newsgroups related to Telegram encrypted messaging. Malicious links are then used to infect users' devices and access their data.

Hackers are known worldwide for their WannaCry ransomware, which caused panic in 2017 by hitting hundreds of thousands of computers. Lately, we were also telling you about this malware potentially developed by Lazarus. This program, dubbed ATMDtrack, has targeted ATMs since last summer.

Faced with serious economic difficulties, would have recovered more than 2 billion dollars by carrying out cyberattacks. A considerable sum when you know that the country's GDP is around $ 30 billion.

The assets of the Lazarus, Bluenoroff and Andariel groups, all three linked to the North Korean regime, were frozen.

Thanks
