Hackers from North Korea are stealing NFTs using almost 500 different phishing domains.

The cybercriminals established dummy websites that posed as legitimate NFT marketplaces, NFT projects, and even a DeFi platform. There have been reports that hackers with ties to North Korea's Lazarus Group are behind a massive phishing campaign aimed at investors in nonfungible tokens (NFTs). This campaign is said to have used nearly 500 phishing domains to trick victims. SlowMist, a blockchain security company, published a report on December 24 revealing the strategies that North Korean Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups have used to separate NFT investors from their NFTs. These strategies include the use of decoy websites that are disguised as a variety of different NFT-related platforms and projects. Some examples of these fake websites include a website that pretends to be a project associated with the World Cup, as well as websites that impersonate well-known NFT marketplaces like OpenSea, X2Y2, and Rarible. Another example of one of these fake websites is a website th

A new phase in the economic conflict between Russia and the West began on December 5 with the implementation of a $60 per barrel price cap on Russian seaborne oil that had just been agreed upon by the European Union, the G7, and Australia. Although the price cap appears to be largely misunderstood, it may be one of the most significant responses to Russia's weaponization of its energy reserves since the start of its all-out invasion of Ukraine. Contrary to popular belief, there is no attempt to stop Russian oil exports with the price ceiling. Instead, it intends to make sure that they keep flowing despite tougher laws and sanctions, albeit not to Western markets.
