The FBI says North Korean hackers stole $400 million in cryptocurrency using fake video calls, and the US has now seized servers linked to the scheme. The FBI attributes the scheme, which it calls FaceStealer, to North Korean operatives, and more than 900 victims are thought to have fallen prey to it over the last 18 months. Deutsche Welle reported that US authorities have seized servers linked to the operation, which used fake video meetings and deepfakes. Deutsche Welle also reported that Washington has moved to seize $1.2 billion that was taken from Binance. The reports gave no further details on the victims' identities or on how much of the stolen money has been recovered.
