According to Foresight News, the latest Google Cloud report indicates that North Korean hackers disguised as IT professionals are intensifying cyber attacks on European blockchain projects. Projects built on the Solana network, including applications and recruitment, are experiencing increasing attacks. North Korean agents impersonate legitimate remote workers, infiltrate companies, take over critical systems, and steal sensitive data that could be sold to "generate revenue for the regime". Due to the pressure of US Department of Justice prosecutions and stricter domestic recruitment screening, the increase in European threats suggests a shift in focus away from the United States.

The report shows that such a worker used 12 false identities in the United States and Europe, seeking employment by forging recommendations, establishing rapport with job seekers, and using other controlled identities to prove credibility. More blockchain-related projects involve Anchor and Rust smart contract development. One employee even developed an AI web application using Electron, Next.js, and blockchain applications.
