The crypto industry is facing an increase in sophisticated cyberattacks, as hackers target professionals through LinkedIn. Scammers create fake LinkedIn profiles posing as recruiters from reputable companies, offering job opportunities to unsuspecting victims. They employ legitimate tools like the Willo Video interviewing platform and provide job descriptions and interview questions to add credibility. However, victims are directed to harmful instructions that compromise their devices and give attackers control over their crypto wallets. The extent of the stolen funds is unknown, but this scam mirrors previous incidents that have resulted in significant losses. Platforms like LinkedIn are taking steps to combat fake accounts, but the challenges remain substantial.
