Manta Co-founder Exposes Chilling Zoom Phishing Scam: Details

Manta Network co-founder Kenny Li has revealed that he narrowly escaped a meticulously crafted phishing attack, potentially orchestrated by the North Korean-linked Lazarus Group . The trap was set using Zoom, where familiar faces greeted him on camera—but something felt off. Familiar Faces, No Sound in Zoom Call Li shared the ordeal in a detailed post on X on April 17. The video call seemed genuine at first—well-known team members were visible, and the setting felt real. But their silence raised suspicion. Then came a prompt, urging him to download a script file under the guise of a Zoom update. “I could see their legit faces. Everything looked very real. But I couldn’t hear them,” Li recounted. “It said my Zoom needs an update. But it asked me to download a script file. I immediately left.” When Li requested identity verification via Telegram, the imposters vanished—deleting all messages and blocking him. He suspects the attackers used pre-recorded video footage of compromised accounts to pull off the ruse, adding that the quality didn’t resemble AI-deepfakes but appeared like regular webcam captures. Crypto Community on High Alert as Similar Scams Surface The attack wasn’t an isolated incident. Other crypto professionals reported eerily similar attempts. A contributor from ContributionDAO described being asked to download a custom “business version” of Zoom from a suspicious link —despite already having the app. When they suggested switching to Google Meet, the request was denied. Even more alarmingly, crypto researcher “Meekdonald” revealed a friend of theirs had fallen victim to the same playbook—a fake Zoom call, urgent prompts, and ultimately, malware installation. Li’s warning to the crypto community was clear: beware of unexpected download requests. “The biggest red flag will always be a downloadable,” he emphasized. Whether disguised as an app update or a business tool, any file pushed mid-conversation should trigger alarm bells.
