North Korean hackers infect thousands of devices across 100 countries as part of ‘WaterPlum’ campaign
The FBI, Defense Department, and international law enforcement agencies from Japan, Australia, and Germany issued an advisory about WaterPlum, a group of North Korean cyber actors. The group conducts targeted campaigns against job applicants by impersonating artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain companies to steal cryptocurrency. The campaign has infected thousands of devices across more than 100 countries.
Why it matters: Organizations and individuals recruiting for AI or blockchain roles face credential theft and device compromise from a state-sponsored threat; practitioners should brief hiring teams and monitor for malicious job postings and employment-related phishing linked to WaterPlum.
