Executive summary: SOCRadar documents a sophisticated North Korea-linked operation called "ClickFake Interview" that targets Web3 and cryptocurrency professionals via fake recruitment workflows and staged video interviews; victims are tricked into running terminal commands that deploy platform-specific RATs (PylangGhost on Windows, GolangGhost on macOS) to harvest credentials, browser extension data (including crypto wallets) and session tokens, with telemetry noting ~230 professionals targeted and recommended mitigations to block terminal execution and restrict extensions.
