I've seen people set up interviews with their work email.

Yep. Mind numbingly stupid.

I like how companies always emphasize how advanced and sophisticated the attack was, and it just boils down to somebody downloading something

Still, who the heck takes a job interview call on their office laptop??

I'll keep scoffing until employees get paid enough to care.

I don't know how this could be possible, but I think they're both lying.

Ah ha! Russia again!! Or maybe Iran.

I highly recommend The Lazarus Heist. Probably the single most interesting piece of media I’ve ever consumed

Stay vigilant out there. Well done.

Well, you just call to confirm. Like, yes, that address is fine, but any financial changes out to have a human confirmation process. A simple: did you…? Yes/no?

If they start spoofing, what’s the protocol?

Emails are nice because the messages often tack on routing, which is traceable so I hope you have a good IT team willing to filter.

Amen brother, fiat has never been stolen or abused at all!

Fucking tool

North Korea has lots of tundra but I don’t think they have any deserts.

Bitcoin is far from untraceable. In fact, it's one of the most traceable currencies that's ever existed.

After all, you can see exactly what address sent exactly what amount to exactly what other address. All you have to do is compromise the addresses and then you know the people. And KYC from Exchanges does an incredibly good job at that.

What do you mean by deliberately untraceable? It's built upon a block chain ledger that tracks all transactions. I'm more amazed by those that are able to avoid tracing with this currency.

So many reasons. The company is American and it is holding value for Americans, so it's beholden to the SEC and a thousand compliance laws in the US.

Crypto as you know it is anonymous, but exchanges to operate in the US have so much scrutiny and compliance. They've had Id verification for years.

So in this case yes, it was the largest heist on currency in history, and a massive chunk was Americans'. I'd be shocked if they didn't investigate.

Not to mention if it's happening with crypto, it's happening g with standard banks too. Not investigating would leave everyone else vulnerable to it.

Crime is crime.

And money launder.

No it's great for buying drugs too

I mean apparently it's a good way to irreversibly move $6.3 billion very quickly, if you're into that.

Some use crypto for illegal activities yes, but some just like their privacy, and it's good that we have a means for people to continue to maintain their privacy in their financial dealings. Especially now that Donald has normalized the surveillance state to a formerly unimaginable degree.

And besides, the fees for transferring crypto internationally are significantly lower than transacting internationally through a bank, so saying there's not utility for it isn't exactly true.

Considering Bitcoin is almost entirely traceable, it is a really, really bad idea to use Bitcoin for illegal activity.

i wonder if they got the job
