FBI says North Korean hackers used fake video calls in $400m crypto theft

The FBI has attributed a cryptocurrency theft worth about $400 million to North Korean hackers, who reportedly used deceptive video calls to carry it out. According to investigators, the operation, dubbed the FaceStealer scheme, has ensnared more than 900 victims over roughly the past year and a half. The fraudulent calls were used to manipulate targets into compromising their digital assets. The case adds to a growing body of evidence that Pyongyang-linked groups are major players in large-scale crypto heists.
