Crypto user unmasks North Korean hacker with a single question about Kim Jong Un

  • —The hacker posed as an acquaintance Jason had not spoken to for about two years
  • —A calendar invite looked normal, but the call link pointed to an unknown 'teamlive' domain
  • —After being asked to write a phrase about Kim Jong Un, the contact deleted the entire chat
  • —The only remaining evidence was the meeting invitation email
Why it matters: The case highlights how North Korea's social engineering targets crypto users by impersonating trusted contacts, and a simple code phrase can help protect wallets.
