North Korean Hackers Targeting Crypto Developers With U.S. Shell Firms

Lazarus Group strikes again—this time hiding behind Delaware LLCs to infiltrate blockchain teams. Their playbook? Fake job offers, poisoned PDFs, and the usual ’urgent code review’ ploys.

The kicker? Half these shell companies were probably filed by overworked paralegals who think ’DeFi’ is a typo.
