AI Tools Are Helping Mediocre North Korean Hackers Steal Millions

Expel says a North Korean state-sponsored group used AI coding and design tools to run a phishing and malware campaign.

The attackers built fake job sites, targeted more than 2,000 computers, and stole cryptocurrency over a three-month period.

The case shows AI can help lower-skill attackers scale cybercrime faster and more profitably.

Crypto developers, NFT projects, and Web3 users face growing risk from AI-assisted credential theft and wallet theft.
