Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has warned crypto projects about North Korean hackers using four main tactics: posing as job applicants for developer, security, or finance roles; sending malware disguised as updates or sample code during fake interviews; embedding malicious links in customer support requests; and bribing employees or vendors for sensitive data. CZ urged companies to strengthen staff training, carefully screen candidates, and avoid downloading suspicious files to protect against these growing cyber threats.
