Lazarus Group Targets Web3 Developers with Fake LinkedIn Profiles in Operation 99 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/01/lazarus-group-targets-web3-developers-with-fake-linkedin-profiles-in-operation-99 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/01/lazarus-group-targets-web3-developers-with-fake-linkedin-profiles-in-operation-99#respond Fri, 17 Jan 2025 12:24:29 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/01/lazarus-group-targets-web3-developers-with-fake-linkedin-profiles-in-operation-99

“By compromising developer accounts, attackers not only exfiltrate intellectual property but also gain access to cryptocurrency wallets, enabling direct financial theft,” the company said. “The targeted theft of private and secret keys could lead to millions in stolen digital assets, furthering the Lazarus Group’s financial goals.”

The malware architecture adopts a modular design and is flexible, and capable of working across Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. It also serves to highlight the ever-evolving and adaptable nature of nation-state cyber threats.

“For North Korea, hacking is a revenue generating lifeline,” Sherstobitoff said. “The Lazarus Group has consistently funneled stolen cryptocurrency to fuel the regime’s ambitions, amassing staggering sums. With Web3 and cryptocurrency industries booming, Operation 99 zeroes in on these high-growth sectors.”

Researchers at Stanford have discovered a revolutionary new way to mine bitcoin: ‘It is essential to empower real people’ https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/01/researchers-at-stanford-have-discovered-a-revolutionary-new-way-to-mine-bitcoin-it-is-essential-to-empower-real-people https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/01/researchers-at-stanford-have-discovered-a-revolutionary-new-way-to-mine-bitcoin-it-is-essential-to-empower-real-people#respond Sun, 05 Jan 2025 18:27:55 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/01/researchers-at-stanford-have-discovered-a-revolutionary-new-way-to-mine-bitcoin-it-is-essential-to-empower-real-people

A team of researchers from Stanford University has found a unique way to mine bitcoin that could have a massive impact on the perceptions of the cryptocurrency.

According to its website, Pi Network was designed in part to make the process of mining bitcoin significantly less energy-intensive.

Cryptocurrency mining is a controversial practice in part because it remains largely unregulated. It uses massive amounts of power that frequently comes from dirty energy sources such as gas and coal as well as massive amounts of water to help keep its server banks cool and functional.

Hacker breaks into crypto wallet and recovers $2,000,000 in ‘high-stakes’ hack https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/hacker-breaks-into-crypto-wallet-and-recovers-2000000-in-high-stakes-hack https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/hacker-breaks-into-crypto-wallet-and-recovers-2000000-in-high-stakes-hack#respond Sat, 21 Dec 2024 12:17:54 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/hacker-breaks-into-crypto-wallet-and-recovers-2000000-in-high-stakes-hack

One hacker has managed to recover over $2,000,000 for a man who forgot the password to his crypto wallet by breaking into the physical device in a ‘high-stakes’ hacking attempt.

Even in its infancy cryptocurrency was worth a lot of money, and it’s surprisingly easy to lose it all with one simple mistake.

Horror stories of people accidentally throwing away hard drives with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin are more than enough to scare anyone away, and this particular video shows how close of a call it can be to recover otherwise simple information.

Texas seeks to regulate cryptocurrency mining on ERCOT grid https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/11/texas-seeks-to-regulate-cryptocurrency-mining-on-ercot-grid https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/11/texas-seeks-to-regulate-cryptocurrency-mining-on-ercot-grid#respond Tue, 26 Nov 2024 01:23:02 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/11/texas-seeks-to-regulate-cryptocurrency-mining-on-ercot-grid

The Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT) on Thursday adopted a rule requiring virtual currency mining facilities in the region maintained by the Energy Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) to register with the commission. In these registrations, the PUCT seeks each facility to share its location, ownership information and demand for electricity.

Cryptocurrency mining, in which computers crack codes in order to verify crypto transactions, has been on the rise in Texas for the past few years, specifically after China banned the practice in May 2021. The state itself was luring miners to set up shop here, offering relative regulatory freedom at first. But in the last year, Texans have been speaking out against the mines, which operate scores of their large computers at all hours of the day. The computer usage, coupled with the fans required to cool down the hard-working machines, can use up a lot of power and make the kind of noise that residents say make them sick.
