Konni hackers target blockchain engineers with AI-built malware

The Konni Hackers Are at It Again — Now With Fancy AI Crap

Oh, for ****’s sake. The sneaky little bastards from the Konni hacking group have crawled out from whatever digital cesspool they haunt, and this time, they’ve decided blockchain engineers make excellent chew toys. Apparently, the old “send a dodgy attachment, steal your ****” routine wasn’t sexy enough, so they’ve sprinkled a bit of artificial intelligence fairy dust on their malware. Because, sure, THAT makes crime classy.

So these North Korea-linked cyber arseholes are slinging around emails packed with “job offers” that are about as real as the CEO’s gratitude for your unpaid overtime. These emails hide some AI-crafted malware that basically sets up shop on your machine, pokes around your files like a pervy raccoon, and then exfiltrates every byte of valuable data faster than you can say “oh, **** off.”

The malware isn’t just your garden-variety keylogger either. This one uses AI tricks to help it look and act all sophisticated while it quietly filches sensitive docs, credentials, and bits of your dignity. It’s like getting mugged by a robot that apologizes while it drains your bank account. Even the damn loader—called “SYSID”—has been “upgraded” with new deception gimmicks to make sure it slips past your antivirus faster than IT management slips past accountability.

Basically, the message is clear: if you’re a blockchain engineer and some random recruiter slides into your inbox promising a “dream gig,” it’s not a bloody career opportunity—it’s digital gonorrhea in attachment form. Delete that crap, block the sender, and go back to wondering why you ever picked a career that invites this much digital ****ery.

Signoff: Reminds me of the time some marketing genius plugged a mystery USB stick into the corporate Wi-Fi router “to see what it does.” What it did was torch the damn network for a week. Some people just can’t resist giving malware a free home.
