How much are these North Korean job recruiters offering?
Once they'd gotten access to one worker's machine, they'd move laterally through the company until they compromised the requisite number of signer keys.
And then, game on.
They'd transfer huge sums to themselves and get out.
But even that was just an evolution of earlier tactics.
They were still stealing private keys.
The wallets had just gotten bigger.
What really alarmed investigators, though, was when the DPRK began targeting the underlying infrastructure of cryptocurrency itself.
Okay, so you're fending off these phishing attacks left and right.
But at what point do you really start to worry?
So think of bridges as a sort of currency converter for crypto.
It's not a neat analogy, but essentially it's infrastructure that lets users move digital assets from one blockchain to another without going through an exchange.
So say you want to move Bitcoin into the Ethereum ecosystem or transfer a token from ETH onto another blockchain where it can be traded or used differently.
You use a bridge.
It's just this way of getting money from one blockchain to another.
And so it's obviously like a choke point, basically.
That was Nick Carlson, and here's Aaron Lloyd again.
By 2022, it was clear the DPRK had done its homework.
They weren't just targeting people.
They understood the infrastructure around blockchains, the bridges, wallets, exchanges, smart contracts, and how the whole crypto ecosystem fit together.
