Manta founder reveals Lazarus hacker group uses real face videos to carry out Zoom phishing attacks

PANews reported on April 18 that according to Cointelegraph, Manta Network co-founder Kenny Li recently encountered a carefully designed Zoom phishing attack by the North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group. The attackers used stolen team members' real video footage to induce Li to download malicious scripts during a video conference. "These images did not look like AI-generated content, and the image quality was like a typical webcam. But when the system suddenly requested to download a script file, I immediately became alert and exited," Li disclosed on social media. He attempted to verify the other party's identity through Telegram, but the attackers quickly deleted the records and blocked him. Li pointed out that this attack specifically targeted the work habits of crypto industry executives: "Exploiting the target's trust in sudden meeting requests and the fatigue caused by daily information overload." Multiple industry professionals confirmed experiencing similar attack methods recently, including being asked to download so-called "business-exclusive versions" of Zoom. Li warned that any sudden meetings requesting file downloads should raise high levels of vigilance.
