good thing the US is gutting beneficial ownership regulations that would make it easier to understand who actually owns US trusts and corporations while simultaneously trashing both crypto enforcement at the DOJ but also more generally cyber defense
"The companies, Blocknovas LLC and Softglide LLC, were set up in the states of #NewMexico and New York using fake personas and addresses."

2/ ...and it just so happens that #PaloAlto released a long investigation into a newer and less well known North Korean crypto operation called "Slow Pisces" and/or "Jade Sleet" at the same time.
This time the #DRPK's crypto thieves pose as recruiters on LinkedIn and try to lure developers into doing various coding challenges hosted on #GitHub as part of a job interview. Doing a challenge leads to infection with custom Python #malware.

1/ Deep dive case study of the kind of open source contributions and #GitHub astroturfing that North Korean hackers employ to try get jobs as devs at crypto companies, this time in an attempt to infiltrate #onlyDust.
tl;dr DPRK hackers use contributions to FOSS projects to build cred, after which, armed with AI video avatars, they try to leverage the cred into success in interviews for blockchain development jobs.
I've said it before but i'll say it again: the one real upside of crypto is that the industry draws close to 100% of the incoming fire from sophisticated #DPRK threat actors like Lazarus Group who would otherwise be hacking banks.
