TL;DR Summary

Hackers are posing as crypto investors via Calendly to schedule meetings and infect Macs with malware. They exploit the "Add Custom Link" feature to insert malicious links and initiate phishing attacks, targeting crypto users. A cybersecurity firm discovered that the perpetrators are a hacker group from North Korea, known for targeting financial gains. Calendly's response includes terminating accounts involved in such attacks and implementing measures to detect fraud and impersonations. To protect against cyberthreats, users are advised to be cautious with links, send meeting links directly, use antivirus software, perform regular updates, and use strong passwords with two-factor authentication.
