North Korean hack group BlueNoroff hacked Canadian iGaming service via fake Zoom
North Korean cyber group BlueNoroff continues its global hunt for cryptocurrency and financial companies. This time, they targeted a Canadian iGaming operator. The attack, which began in the spring of 2025, was part of a large-scale campaign that affected companies around the world.
How the attack went
Everything looked as plausible as possible. The victim was informed about an alleged technical problem with sound during communication and was offered to install a fix through a special link on Zoom. But instead of the usual application, the person downloaded a malicious script disguised as a secure utility.
This script quietly installed spyware on the computer. The malware could steal logins, passwords, and access to crypto wallets, as well as open stable "backdoors" for further control over the system. At the same time, the software automatically deleted traces of its activity after the task was completed, which made it extremely difficult to detect the attack.
When and who else was attacked
The attack on the Canadian iGaming service began in March 2025. At the same time, experts have recorded similar schemes in the United States, South Korea, Japan, and several European countries.
Who is BlueNoroff
BlueNoroff is one of the key APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) groups associated with the DPRK government. Their main task is cyber espionage and the theft of digital assets to finance government projects, including weapons development programs. Previously, BlueNoroff has already been involved in a number of major attacks, including on banks and crypto exchanges.
This case in Canada is another confirmation that the iGaming industry, especially with elements of working with cryptocurrencies, is becoming an increasingly attractive target for international cybercriminals.
tickscollar All this bullshit was invented to squeeze out the last money. It used to be easier - bet on red, win or lose. And now some chickens are running, airplanes are flying... Circus.
xSuiZ The article is fire! Everything was laid out according to the facts. Drake is not a ludomaniac, he is a walking advertisement. And while the suckers believe in his "curse", Stake rakes in the money. Beautiful, you can't say anything. I've been riding a steak myself for a year now, I threw in crypto and generally don't give a about all the blocking.
Leoak Finally a good article on NC! I've been playing them since the very beginning, since the first Deadwood. Yes, their dispersion is crazy, you can lose a deposit in 100 spins. But when he pours ... It's worth it. In Mental x15k I caught, I still remember this spin. The whole point is in their x-mechanics, they really change the game, and not just for show.
tealblossom 2 minutes to respond? Yes, this is a dream! Otherwise, while you wait for these operators, you will already want to play. It's high time!
