Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Cisco Talos is warning potential crypto job seekers in India of a malware campaign by the North Korean Famous Chollima group. Fake employers are approaching software engineers, marketing employees, and designers with skill-testing pages to apply for positions at cryptocurrency companies like Coinbase, Archblock, and Robinhood. These pages feature ClickFix attacks, which prompt victims to run malicious code to fix errors. The code eventually downloads infostealer malware to steal browser credentials and session tokens.
