Kind: security · Impact: high

## In brief

- North Korean state hackers stole more than $400 million in cryptocurrency over the past 18 months.
- Targets were pulled into fake Zoom and Teams calls filled with webcam footage of earlier victims.
- The FBI calls the scheme FaceStealer and says it has seized more than 900 such victim clips.

## Why it matters

Developers and crypto holders can be lured into fake video calls that use real footage of other people, so unexpected meeting invitations should be treated with suspicion.
