Another day another North Korean scammer
2025-03-12 • dazhengzhang •
The thread describes a North Korea-linked social-engineering attempt that used a fake executive persona and legitimate-looking scheduling material to build trust with the target. The attacker moved the interaction from a Google Meet scheduling flow to a fake Zoom-style site at businessmeet.xyz after claiming an internal meeting issue. The fake meeting page behaved like a conferencing app, then the caller claimed not to hear the victim and asked for a screenshot through in-call chat; the author suspected the site may have tried to determine the operating system before prompting further action. The excerpt also notes a lookalike email/web domain, openfort.video, used to impersonate Openfort rather than the legitimate openfort.io domain.
