<p>The malware is delivered through phishing emails via links to fake PDF documents many times on crypto news. When opened, the decoy PDF seems to be genuine, but in the background, malware is going to be downloaded, giving the hacker remote access to the system of the victim, through which the sensitive data including the private keys of digital wallets can be stolen.</p>  
<p>The attack in October this year was attributed to a spate of such phishing incidents starting from April 2023 by cybersecurity firm <a href="https://www.sentinelone.com/labs/bluenoroff-hidden-risk-threat-actor-targets-macs-with-fake-crypto-news-and-novel-persistence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SentinelOne</a>. Researchers from the company uncovered the "Hidden Risk" campaign that involved headlines like "Hidden Risk Behind New Surge of Bitcoin Price" and "New Era for Stablecoins and DeFi."</p>

In December 2022, BlueNoroff amped up operations, registering at least 70 fake domain names masquerading as legitimate firms in attempts to breach victim computers and further extort money from its targets.</p>
