The Architecture of Deception

In an age where innovation bends the arc of history, so too does subversion find new architecture. Silent Push’s latest findings reveal that the Lazarus Group—North Korea’s silent arm of digital warfare—has built a façade of enterprise upon American soil. Through shell companies like BlockNovas LLC and SoftGlide LLC, and the spectral Angeloper Agency abroad, Lazarus reshapes old espionage into modern artifice.

Their method, as austere as it is cunning, wields the veneer of opportunity as a weapon: job seekers in the cryptocurrency frontier lured by synthetic companies, baited by AI-generated profiles and hollow domains—blocknovas[.]com, lianxinxiao[.]com, among them. Behind each invitation lay malware, precision-designed to pry open wallets, steal secrets, and deepen the fault lines within legitimate systems.

This gambit is no isolated endeavor. It echoes the cold calculus behind the Axie Infinity breach of 2021 and the Horizon Bridge theft of 2022—operations that bled the crypto economy of hundreds of millions, and scarred its emerging landscape.

Lazarus moves without haste, without theater. It does not need to announce itself; it merely builds, waits, and strikes—an enduring reminder that in the digital age, even trust must be constructed on bedrock, not illusions.
