🚨DOJ SEIZES $1.2B IN NORTH KOREA-LINKED CRYPTO, FBI DISRUPTS FACESTEALER SCHEME! The Department of Justice has moved to seize more than $1.2 billion in cryptocurrency tied to North Korean hackers from the roughly $6.3 billion @binance theft in late October. Separately, the FBI and DOJ disrupted cloud infrastructure used in the FaceStealer deepfake video-call scheme, which stole more than $400 million over 18 months by targeting crypto and Web3 professionals with recorded webcam video and imposter links. The FBI attributes FaceStealer to North Korean groups including Sapphire Sleet.
