DPRK-Linked Fake AI Job Platform Targets U.S. Tech Workers with Malware

Validin researchers report that a DPRK-linked operation known as Contagious Interview is running a fake AI-powered job platform called Lenvny. The site mimics legitimate recruitment software and advertises fabricated roles at companies such as Anthropic and Yuga Labs to lure software developers, AI researchers and crypto professionals. Applicants who reach the video introduction step are prompted to 'fix' their webcam, which delivers ClickFix malware to their computer, compromising their system and personal data. The campaign is ongoing and is considered highly convincing.
