Title: GIFCOIN - Spreading Malware, copying an already existing project.
Post by: JeromeTash on March 28, 2019, 05:32:53 PM
What happened: Sharing a link to a file claiming that it's their wallet but it has a key logger embedded in it. No working website, No whitepaper, No Team.
They are also copying and already existing project also called GIFcoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2785607.0).

KeyLogger

Results from Virustotal show a detection of a keylogger in the file which is hosted on their github profile.

Additional Notes
The scammer seems to be using so many profiles to make ANNs so that unsuspecting members get to download the wallets quick.

After watching those threads, it seems like he used further more accounts to bump the thread. I will take my time and review each and will tag accordingly. For the meantime, I will tag these three accounts.

According to the website, it looks like they are planning to release a wallet which i beleive could the the same malware-Keylogger store. I will keep my eyes peeled and look it to it more.
