The Lazarus Group is at it again
Yet another target has been made in an advertisement scheme by the Lazarus group, a North Korean linked hacker group. The attack encourages members of the crypto community to download a PDF pretending to showcase open jobs at Crypto.com which includes an Art Director role set in Singapore.
As the candidate downloads the PDF they are then victim to a trojan horse attack which releases all of their financial information and personal data.

It would seem that the goal of the Lazarus group is to get as much sensitive information as possible from as many people as it can. The group has been heavily focused on crypto and NFTs as they were behind the $622 million hack on Ronin Bridge- the Ethereum sidechain that supports Axie Infinity. The United States Treasury Department issued a blacklisted status on the wallet with the funds and placed it on an official sanctions list.
