Cyber Chaos: North Korean Hackers Target Developers, Shannon Sharpe’s Insta Hijacked, and More Cyber Mayhem

North Korea’s Lazarus Group is targeting software developers via malicious emails. The campaign, part of the VMConnect initiative, uses fake job interviews to deliver malware.

Hot Take:

Apparently, North Korea’s Lazarus Group is giving recruiters a run for their money by staging the most dangerous job interviews ever. Meanwhile, Shannon Sharpe’s Instagram gets a wild makeover, a teen hacker treats London’s transport to a digital joyride, Fortinet faces a network drama, OilRig plays whack-a-mole with Iraqi government sites, and Australia steps in to save the Pacific Islands Forum from a cyber invasion. It’s like an international cybersecurity soap opera!

  • Shannon Sharpe’s Instagram gets hacked and explicit content is posted.
  • A 17-year-old is arrested for hacking Transport for London, causing service disruptions.
