A leading global cryptocurrency exchange recently detected a fraudulent job application from an individual suspected to be of North Korean origin. The applicant, operating under the alias "Steven Smith," submitted fabricated credentials for an IT position, including a mismatched driver’s license and claims of education at New York University.
The platform’s security team identified inconsistencies in the documents, such as a Houston residency claim contradicted by an address 300 miles away. This incident highlights the sophisticated social engineering tactics employed by bad actors targeting crypto firms.
