Distributed across thousands of nodes globally. Those were supposed to be features. Now North Korean 🇰🇵 hackers figured out they're also a perfect place to park malware where nobody can pull the plug. The attack starts with a fake LinkedIn job offer, drops malicious code into a smart contract on Ethereum or BNB Smart Chain, and waits. There's no command-and-control server to raid. No hosting provider to call. No kill switch. One group alone has already hit roughly 14,000 WordPress sites this way. 🎯 The worst part isn't the technique. It's that your standard incident response playbook assumes there's something to take down. Here, there isn't.
