Kryptowährungen: Ethereum-Entwickler im Visier von Angreifern
Kriminelle haben gefälschte NPM-Pakete für die Ethereum-Entwicklungsplattform Hardhat verteilt und damit kritische Daten abgegriffen.
A malicious npm campaign is targeting #Ethereum developers by impersonating @hardhathq plugins and the @nomicfoundation. Socket researchers have identified 20 malicious packages that exfiltrate sensitive data like private keys and mnemonics.

Socket’s threat research team has discovered a malicious #npm package posing as a tool for detecting vulnerabilities in #Ethereum smart contracts. Instead, it deploys Quasar RAT, a versatile remote access trojan, onto developers’ machines. https://socket.dev/blog/quasar-rat-disguised-as-an-npm-package #Crypto

@JessTheUnstill interesting fact: the #Synapse partner bank where all these issues are stemming from, Evolve Bank & Trust, has a bunch of fun properties:
1. Issuer of the #FTX debit card
2. Used by George Santos and Andy Ogles to store campaign funds
3. Banking partner of #PrimeTrust, the Nevada crypto custody company that collapsed in 2023
4. Banking partner of #BlockFi, one of the crypto "banks" that went down with the good ship FTX.
5. Recently hacked by Russians
6. Recently hit with a major fed enforcement action
Also Synapse was backed in a big way by Trump loving #a16z and Marc Andreessen.

The FBI created a cryptocurrency as part of an investigation into price manipulation in crypto markets. The FBI’s Ethereum-based token, NexFundAI, was created with the help of “cooperating witnesses.”
