NORTH KOREA
North Korean hackers reportedly stole over US $ 50 million from the crypto platform Radiant Capital by exploiting a malicious PDF file sent to its engineers , according to cybersecurity firm Mandiant .
The attack was attributed to the North Korean group AppleJeus – also known as Citrine Sleet – which operates under the country ’ s Reconnaissance General Bureau ( RGB ), North Korea ’ s primary intelligence agency .
The incident began when the hackers , posing as a former contractor , sent the PDF via Telegram . The document claimed to contain information about another recent cybersecurity incident involving a cryptocurrency firm , luring Radiant Capital engineers into opening it . Once opened , the PDF infected the system with malware , giving the attackers access to Radiant Capital ’ s infrastructure and enabling the theft .
