Хакеры из КНДР используют подставные криптофирмы для взломов

  • Эксперты Silent Push раскрыли сеть из трех фиктивных компаний, которую использовали хакеры Contagious Interview.
  • Они завлекали жертв предложением о работе, распространяя вредоносное ПО.
  • Две из трех фирм были официально зарегистрированы в США.

Хакеры, вероятно связанные с правительством Северной Кореи, создали три подставные криптокомпании для проведения взломов и распространения вредоносного ПО. Это следует из отчета экспертов Silent Push.

Речь идет о следующих контрагентах: BlockNovas LLC, SoftGlide LLC и Angeloper Agency. Первые две компании зарегистрированы в США, в Нью-Мексико и Нью-Йорке.

Согласно отчету, организатором этой схемы является хакерская группировка Contagious Interview, связанная с Lazarus Group. Злоумышленники активно используют поддельные личности, фиктивные адреса и сгенерированные изображения, чтобы создать видимость реального бизнеса.

Схема нацелена на разработчиков в криптосфере. Потенциальных жертв злоумышленники находят посредством объявлений на портале GitHub и сайтах для поиска работы.

Эксперты указали на то, что хакеры используют такое вредоносное ПО, как BeaverTail, InvisibleFerret и OtterCookie. Точное количество пострадавших неизвестно, однако, по словам главного аналитика Зака Эдвардса, среди них есть публичные персоны.

Он также раскрыл один из вариантов распространения вируса. При попытке записать видео во время подачи анкеты жертва сталкивается с ошибкой. Ей тут же предлагают «фикс», который нужно вписать в командную строку, что ведет к краже данных.

Эксперт также отметил, что Федеральное бюро расследований (ФБР) заблокировало доступ к сайту BlockNovas. Это подтверждает соответствующая заглушка при переходе на страницу.

Ранее мы освещали отчет аналитиков Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG). Согласно ему, хакеры из КНДР нацелились на компании в Европе. Они притворяются сотрудниками IT-сегмента, чтобы получить доступ к корпоративным данным.

The Strategy That Would Never Sell Bitcoin Opened a Permanent Sales Channel

MicroStrategy, a company long known for its "never sell Bitcoin" mantra, announced a "Digital Credit Capital Framework" allowing it to sell up to $1.25 billion worth of Bitcoin. Surprisingly, its stock (MSTR) rose nearly 7% pre-market. This shift, coming just a month after a small, "ad-hoc" sale of 32 BTC for dividends, transitions from a temporary action to a formal, institutional tool. The framework outlines four clear purposes for potential sales: bolstering USD reserves, paying preferred stock dividends/interest, and repurchasing its own preferred and common stock. The key driver for this change is the immense financial pressure from MicroStrategy's complex capital structure, specifically its massive $8.5 billion perpetual preferred stock (STRC). STRC features a variable interest rate that has been reset upward eight times in a year to 12% in an attempt to stabilize its price. However, the stock has fallen over 25% below its face value. Combined with other preferred stocks and convertible notes, MicroStrategy's total annual fixed obligations now stand at $1.76 billion, equating to a daily burn of roughly $4.8 million. While its $2.55 billion in USD reserves and the new $1.25 billion BTC sales framework provide a two-year+ runway, a dangerous feedback loop exists. Falling Bitcoin prices would force the sale of more BTC to meet fixed obligations, potentially creating further sell-side pressure and lowering MSTR's asset valuation multiple. This, in turn, limits its ability to raise cash through stock issuance. The market's positive reaction likely stems from relief; the framework replaces fears of a forced, disorderly sell-off with a structured plan. However, it does not resolve the underlying high-cost capital structure, leaving the company's long-term health heavily dependent on Bitcoin's price performance.

OpenClaw and Cursor Just Invaded Phones! Agents Are Now in Your Pocket

AI Agents have officially arrived on mobile. In a landmark move, both OpenClaw and Cursor launched native mobile apps on the same day, fundamentally shifting how AI assistants are accessed and controlled. OpenClaw has released full-featured native apps for iOS and Android. Its "local-first" architecture, developed by the OpenClaw Foundation, keeps user data private by running the agent on a user's private Gateway. The mobile app now allows seamless remote control and approval of the agent's actions directly from a smartphone, with access to device capabilities like the camera, GPS, and contacts. Simultaneously, Cursor, the AI-powered coding tool, launched a public beta of its native iOS app. It enables developers to start and manage cloud-based AI coding agents from their phones. These agents can work asynchronously for extended periods—debugging, writing code, and creating pull requests—while developers are away from their computers. The app sends notifications for key decisions, allowing users to review and merge PRs from anywhere. Together, these releases signal a major shift: AI agents are no longer confined to desktop browsers or terminals. They are becoming persistent, autonomous assistants that work independently in the cloud, with humans transitioning from constant operators to mobile supervisors who approve key steps. The era of pocket-sized, on-demand AI is now here.
