According to Odaily, blockchain investigator ZachXBT has issued a warning on the X platform regarding the hacking of the social media account of crypto influencer The Cryptomist. The account, allegedly compromised by Russian hackers, has been disseminating false information to followers in an attempt to trick them into downloading malicious software through social engineering tactics.
ZachXBT noted that he typically does not report minor incidents of this nature. However, he decided to make an exception in this case due to his extensive interaction with The Cryptomist's compromised account, having engaged with it over 45 times. Additionally, he expressed concern that his own followers were nearly deceived by the fraudulent messages.#Cryptomist #Hacked #SocialMedia #MaliciousSoftware #ZachXBT #CryptoInfluencer #SecurityAlert #Cybersecurity #RussianHackers #SocialEngineering

According to Odaily, the hacker group 'Dark Storm,' supported by Russia, has claimed responsibility for a recent distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that caused a significant outage on the X platform. Cybersecurity organization SpyoSecure reported on March 10 via the X platform that Dark Storm announced the attack on their Telegram channel, which was subsequently removed for violating platform terms. Social media figure Ed Krassenstein stated that he contacted Dark Storm's leader, who confirmed the attack was intended to demonstrate their capabilities without any political motives.
Elon Musk, the owner of the X platform, confirmed that the platform experienced a cyberattack on March 10, which temporarily restricted user access. However, user functionality was quickly restored. In an interview with Fox Business, Musk mentioned that the attack originated from IP addresses in the Ukraine region.
Additionally, Tesla's recent stock price decline may be linked to protests over spending cuts led by Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).#RussianHackers #DarkStorm #DDoSAttack #Cybersecurity #XPlatform #ElonMusk #Tesla #IPAddresses #Protests #GovernmentEfficiency
🚀 Russian Hackers Exploit Firefox Extensions to Steal Cryptocurrency
#RussianHackers #FirefoxExtensions #CryptocurrencyTheft #GreedyBear #KoiSecurity #MaliciousSoftware #Phishing #ExtensionHollowing #DigitalSecurity #Cybercrime
According to PANews, a report by Koi Security reveals that the Russian hacker group GreedyBear has stolen over $1 million in cryptocurrency over the past five weeks. The group utilized 150 weaponized Firefox extensions, nearly 500 malicious executable files, and numerous phishing websites to carry out their operations.
Koi Security's Chief Technology Officer, Idan Dardikman, stated that the Firefox extension attacks have been the most lucrative method for the hackers so far, contributing significantly to the $1 million theft. This strategy involved creating fake versions of popular cryptocurrency wallets like MetaMask, Exodus, Rabby Wallet, and TronLink. The hackers employed a technique known as Extension Hollowing to bypass market security measures, initially uploading non-malicious versions of the extensions and later updating them with harmful code.
To further deceive users, the group posted fake reviews of the extensions, creating a false sense of trust and reliability. Once downloaded, these malicious extensions would steal wallet credentials, enabling the hackers to access and steal cryptocurrency.
Another major tactic used by the group involved nearly 500 malicious Windows executable files, which were distributed on Russian websites offering pirated or repackaged software. These executables included credential stealers, ransomware, and trojans, further expanding the group's reach and impact.#RussianHackers #FirefoxExtensions #CryptocurrencyTheft #GreedyBear #KoiSecurity #MaliciousSoftware #Phishing #ExtensionHollowing #DigitalSecurity #Cybercrime
