The FBI further noted that the Harmony hack used an attack campaign known as TraderTraitor, which was exposed by the US Homeland Security Department's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in April 2022. The campaign involved using social engineering tactics to lure cryptocurrency company employees into downloading rogue applications as part of a seemingly harmless recruitment operation.
