Join our analysts for an exclusive webinar revealing details from our most extensive public investigation to date. We’ve uncovered a highly advanced campaign by North Korean threat actors tied to the Contagious Interview subgroup.

Discover how fake crypto companies — BlockNovas LLC, Angeloper Agency, and SoftGlide LLC — were used to deliver malware through fake job interviews. You’ll see how malware strains like BeaverTail, InvisibleFerret, and OtterCookie are deployed to unsuspecting applicants. You’ll also learn how AI-generated employee profiles, built with tools like Remaker AI, are being used to add credibility to these fake operations.

This campaign takes modern trends in social engineering and blends them together with widely available AI tools to create a perfect mix of obfuscation to hide their infrastructure as Contagious Interview works to compromise their targets.

Whether you're a security professional, threat analyst, or work in digital identity, this is a critical briefing.
