TechFlow reports on October 23 that several crypto practitioners told TechFlow their Twitter (X) and Telegram accounts were hacked. A security firm traced the attack back to the North Korean hacking group DangerousPassword. One affected practitioner stated they did not click any phishing links, and the exact cause of the breach is still under investigation.
Notably, the North Korean hackers involved in this incident are highly proficient in Chinese and well-versed in current cryptocurrency industry trends and terminology.
TechFlow reminds all cryptocurrency traders and industry participants to remain vigilant against suspicious links sent from "friends' accounts" on Telegram and X, avoid connecting to public Wi-Fi networks, and consistently maintain strong account security practices.
