Manta founder details attempted Zoom hack by Lazarus that used very real ‘legit faces’
Manta Network co-founder Kenny Li experienced a sophisticated phishing attack via Zoom, where attackers used live recordings of familiar individuals to prompt him to download malware. The meeting appeared authentic, with the impersonated person's camera on, but lacked sound and included a suspicious download request. Li left the meeting and sought verification through Telegram, but the attacker blocked him after deleting messages. He suspects the North Korean Lazarus Group was responsible, noting that the video quality resembled typical webcam footage. Li warns the crypto community to be cautious of unsolicited download requests, emphasizing that such prompts are major red flags. Other crypto community members reported similar phishing attempts, where attackers insisted on using specific Zoom links for business purposes.
