North Korean hackers use AI technology to conduct social engineering attacks against Zerion hot wallets
Zerion disclosed that some of its corporate hot wallets were recently targeted by an AI-driven social engineering attack linked to North Korean hackers, resulting in losses of approximately $100,000. Zerion stated that user funds, applications, and infrastructure remain unaffected and proactively disabled its web application to mitigate risk. This incident marks the second such attack this month, following the $280 million breach of Drift Protocol, underscoring how North Korean hackers are leveraging AI to refine social engineering tactics—primarily targeting employees and developers at crypto firms. The Security Alliance (SEAL) tracked the hacker group UNC1069, which conducts low-pressure, multi-week social engineering campaigns across platforms including Telegram, LinkedIn, and Slack, using AI tools to edit images and videos to enhance attack efficiency.
