North Korea-Linked Actors Allegedly Use AI Executive Deepfakes in Zoom Phishing Targeting Web3 Employee

An alleged phishing scheme involving actors linked to North Korea used purported AI-generated deepfake videos of company executives to deceive a Web3 employee during a fake Zoom call. The target was reportedly tricked into installing macOS malware disguised as a "Zoom extension," leading to the deployment of spyware, a keylogger, and a crypto wallet stealer. The attackers reportedly used Telegram and spoofed Zoom domains to orchestrate the breach.
