North Korea's UNC1069 Hammers Crypto Firms With AI

A North Korean hacking group called UNC1069 is targeting cryptocurrency companies using AI tools, including LLMs (large language models, which are AI systems trained on huge amounts of text), deepfakes (fake videos or images created by AI), and a technique called ClickFix (a social engineering scam that tricks users into downloading malware by posing as tech support). The group has shifted focus from attacking traditional banks to targeting Web3 companies, which are blockchain-based services in the cryptocurrency space.
