Los piratas informáticos estatales ahora están apuntando a Crypto Elite: incluso CZ recibe una alerta de Google

¡Oh, cómo han caído los valientes! Los titanes criptográficos de alto patrimonio, incluido el legendario ex director ejecutivo de Binance, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), están ahora en el radar de los piratas informáticos respaldados por el estado. 2025 se perfila como un año récord para el robo de activos digitales y ¿adivinen quién es el nuevo objetivo favorito? Así es, ¡es la élite criptográfica!

Solo en 2025, hemos visto cómo miles de millones de dólares desaparecían en el éter, y las bolsas y las abultadas billeteras de las personas adineradas perdían más que nunca. Es como ver una versión criptográfica del Salvaje Oeste, excepto que son los bandidos patrocinados por el estado quienes tienen las armas y las herramientas de piratería.

Google advierte a CZ sobre un ataque respaldado por el Estado: ¿Está Corea del Norte detrás?

Y justo cuando pensaba que no podía ser más entretenido, en un giro dramático, el propio Changpeng Zhao (CZ) reveló una reciente advertencia de seguridad de Google. Al parecer, alguien está intentando piratear su cuenta; ¿tal vez sea Corea del Norte otra vez? El mundo espera con gran expectación.

«Recibo esta advertencia de Google de vez en cuando. ¿Alguien sabe qué es esto? ¿Corea del Norte Lazarus?

No es que tenga nada importante en mi cuenta. Pero quédate SAFU. 🙏 «

Now, it seems these alerts aren’t exactly a rare occurrence for CZ, but they sure raise a few eyebrows. Crypto analyst Neel Kukreti, in his ever-so-dramatic style, reminds us that such alerts are typically reserved for those dealing with sensitive information-like journalists or, well, people who run entire crypto empires.

«It’s not always a real hack, but better safe than sorry. You’re probably fine, but it’s good practice to stay locked down. These alerts don’t show up for nothing,» he advises. Good advice, Neel-very reassuring.

For those new to this, Google’s blog makes it clear that these alerts are just a precautionary measure. If Google thinks a government-backed attacker is trying to access your account, they’ll let you know. That’s right, just in case you didn’t have enough to worry about already.

«The notice reflects our assessment that a government-backed attacker has likely attempted to access the user’s account or computer through phishing or malware, for example,» Google clarifies. Nothing to see here, just a little light government surveillance.

Oh, and by the way, Google is kind enough to send these warnings to at-risk users in batches. So, don’t take it personally-you’re probably just another number in the increasingly paranoid digital age.

North Korean Hackers Drive Record-Breaking Crypto Heists in 2025

Meanwhile, back in the land of cyber villainy, CZ’s hunch about the Lazarus Group-North Korea’s notorious hacking crew-might not be too far off the mark. This group, operating under the ever-cryptic Reconnaissance General Bureau, has been wreaking havoc across crypto firms for years. They were also the masterminds behind the Bybit hack earlier this year.

But hold on, there’s a twist. It turns out that North Korea has shifted its focus from just targeting exchanges to going after the rich and famous of the crypto world. It’s no longer just about stealing from companies; now, individuals are in the line of fire.

«As crypto prices have risen, individuals have become increasingly attractive targets, often lacking the security measures employed by businesses. Some of these individuals are also targeted due to their association with businesses holding large amounts of cryptoassets, which the hackers are looking to steal,» a report by security firm Elliptic reads. Who knew? The rich get richer, and then they get hacked.

As if that wasn’t enough, the North Korean hackers have been busy this year, stealing over $2 billion in crypto assets alone. That’s right, folks, $2 billion. And no, this isn’t just some petty theft. These hackers are working overtime, with their haul now exceeding $6 billion in total, and many believe these stolen funds are fueling North Korea’s military ambitions. So, there’s that little gem.

«The thefts are a record for the regime-linked hackers who now account for around 13% of North Korea’s gross domestic product (GDP), according to United Nations’ estimates,» reports BBC. So, in case you were wondering where your stolen funds are going, now you know.

With the digital heists escalating, crypto professionals are scrambling to beef up their security measures. CZ’s Google alert serves as a painful reminder that even the biggest players in the crypto world are not immune to the digital overlords lurking in the shadows. So, stay safe out there, folks, and remember to keep your digital vaults locked up tighter than a government secret.
