This Stealer malware has improved throughout the years and now it's getting more dangerous than ever, from banking trojan to crypto stealing wallet. Highlights
- The Rhadamanthys stealer is a multi-layer malware, sold on the black market, and frequently updated. Recently the author released a new major version, 0.5.0. - In the new version, the malware expands its stealing capabilities and also introduces some general-purpose spying functions. - A new plugin system makes the malware expandable for specific distributor needs. - The custom executable formats, used for modules, are unchanged since our last publication (XS1 and XS2 formats are still in distribution).
And it has evolved to target more crypto related wallets: And as per usual the methods to spread this is thru torrents, warez, malvertizing, Youtube videos and other channels. So as much as possible stay away from those sites, do not download any fake softwares. Everyone should be very careful more than ever as criminals are very much into our space right now and we don't want to be the next victim here. https://research.checkpoint.com/2023/rhadamanthys-v0-5-0-a-deep-dive-into-the-stealers-components/

Just a update on this case, as per the official court documents, Legkodymov has pleaded guilty: Anatoly Legkodymov, a Russian national also known as “Anatolii Legkodymov,” “Gandalf” and “Tolik,” pleaded guilty today in federal court in Brooklyn to operating a money transmitting business that transported and transmitted illicit funds. The charges stem from Legkodymov’s majority ownership of Bitzlato Ltd., a cryptocurrency exchange that served as a primary conduit for dark market purchasers and sellers, as well as a safe haven for ransomware criminals. As part of his plea agreement, Legkodymov agreed to dissolve Bitzlato and to release any claim over approximately $23 million in seized assets of Bitzlato. The proceeding was held before United States District Judge Eric N. Vitaliano. https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/founder-and-majority-owner-cryptocurrency-exchange-pleads-guilty-unlicensed-moneyAlthough again, if you look at it, this guy might just be facing 5 years as he most likely and his lawyers could have work the case so that he will just be a minimum court sentence for him. His exchange facilitated almost half a billion worth for this criminals as they uses his exchange including coming form the darknet.

As I have said in my previous post here, Malicious Red Alert apps, now scammers are using the war between the Israel and Hamas to create fake websites asking for humanitarian aid in Gaza. And it was reported that there are fake sites already mimicking the real one like this fake Twitter account: https://twitter.com/gazareliefaid If you look closely at this account, at the right side is the website that they are promoting.

Original: Important to know: Difference Coin / Token and shady marketing practicesAkda ni: 1miauMayroong malaking lamang ang Bitcoin sa Shitcoins: alam natin na ito'y isang de-kalidad na coin. Ang Bitcoin ay hindi kinakailangan ng isang malaking pagpapahayag (Ang Bitcoin ay walang kahit na isang pre-mined stash parang pondohan ang pagpapahayag nito dahil hindi na kailangan ng Bitcoin), Kalidad na mismo ang Bitcoin bilang isang coin. Ang Bitcoin ay hindi nangangailangan ng pananaliksik kung ito ay isang coin o isang token. Kaya mahalagang malaman natin ang pagkakaiba sa pagitan ng isang coin at isang token. Dahil sa mga bagong proyektong inilulunsad sa mga umiiral nang platforms, ang mga tao ay nagsisimulang malito sa mga termino at paano tatawagin ng tama ang isang cryptocurrency. At sa paksang ito, aalisin natin ang mga buzzword sa pagpapahayag, na madalas na ginagamit para palakasin ang mga shit cryptocurrencies sa isang mapanlinlang paraan. Sa ngayon, maraming mga bagong proyekto ay patuloy na "nagpapayaman" sa atin mula sa industriya ng Shitcoin ngunit isang napakalaking problema ang lumutang sa paligid nito, ang iba't ibang mga termino tulad ng "Coin" o "Token" na nagdulot ng kalituhan sa lahat. At dahil dito, napakahalagang tingnan kung ano talaga ang isang "Coin" at isang "Token" at kung bakit mahalagang magsaliksik kung ang isang cryptocurrency ay isang coin o isang token. CoinAng isang coin ay isang orihinal na cryptocurrency batay sa isang malayang blockchain, na ang blockchain ay pinatatakbo nang hiwalay mula sa iba pang mga blockchain. Hindi mahalaga kung ang blockchain na ito ay inilunsad kaagad, kinopya o na-forked. Ang isang coin ay nagsisilbing medium para sa mga bayarin ng transaksyon sa orihinal na blockchain na iyon. Mga halimbawa ng mga coin ay: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Cardano, Avalanche, Waves, Tezos at Dogecoin, atbp. TokenAng isang token ay batay sa isang blockchain na mayroon na bago pa nilikha ang token. Ang token na ito ay kailangang sundin ang lahat ng mga katangian ng blockchain na ito kung saan ito nakabatay, at kailangan mo ng ilang mga coin ng orihinal na platform para magpadala ng mga token at lahat ng mga transaksyon ng token na ito ay naitala din sa kasalukuyang blockchain na ito. Isa sa pinakakilala platform para sa mga token ay Ethereum [ETH]. Maaaring lumikha ng mga Ethereum token, na ang mga transaksyon ay naitala sa Ethereum blockchain. Ang bayarin ay binabayaran sa Ethereum Coins. Ang iba pang mga halimbawa ng mga token ang mga Waves token, na batay sa Waves [WAVES]. Ang mga bayarin ay binabayaran sa Waves Coins. Binance tokens, na nakabatay sa Binance [BNB]. Ang mga bayarin ay binabayaran sa Binance Coins. Kaya, pag gusto mo maglipat ng token, kailangan mo palagi ng ilang orihinal na platform coin.
Ang lahat ng iba pang mga coin maliban sa Bitcoin ay tinatawag na "Altcoins." Kung babalikan natin ang panahon na ang mga bagong proyekto ay palaging may sariling blockchain. Kaya ang terminong "Altcoin" ay nabigyang-katwiran. Ngayon, mula sa pagpapakilala ng Ethereum, maraming mga proyekto ang lumutang, na mananatili sa Ethereum blockchain sa kabuong ng kanilang pag-iral, o kalaunan ay lumipat sa kanilang sariling blockchain. Hanggang pagkatapos sila ay nasa Ethereum blockchain. Kaya, alang alang sa katotohanan, ang mga produktong ito ay tinatawag na "Alttokens" sa halip na "Altcoins" hangga't sila ay isang token pa rin. Ang sikat na termino para sa mga ganyang produkto ay magiging "Shittoken" sa halip na nararapat na "Shitcoin". Ang maling pagpapahayag na niloloko ang mga mamimiliHabang ang terminong "Coin" ay nagbigay ng mas mahahalagang katangian, ang "Token" ay mukhang mababa ang kalidad. Ang resulta, maraming mga proyekto ang nagpapahayag ng kanilang produkto bilang isang "Coin" ngunit sa katotohanan, ito ay (pa rin) isang "Token". Hindi dapat tayo malinlang sa pamamagitan nito dahil ang mga proyekto ay madalas na ginagawa ito upang itago ang kanilang walang kwentang proyekto. Ang mga proyektong gumagawa nito, ay dapat na iwasan dahil isa itong malaking red flag. Bilang karagdagan, mayroong mga bagong stratehiya mula sa mga naglalabanang proyekto na ibasura ang kalabang proyekto. Sa isang maling pagyari, ang magkakalaban na coin ay nilagyan ng label bilang isang token, ngunit sa katotohanan, ito ay isang coin dahil ito ay batay sa sarili nitong Blockchain. Ngunit ang mga magkakalabang proyekto ay nilalagyan ito ng label bilang isang token upang mapabasura ito a takutin at pigilan ang mga potensyal na mamimili na bilhin ang nakikipagkumpitensyang coin. Maaaring mangyari pa sa mga magkakalaban na proyekto na kumuha ng "mga ahente" at ilagay sila sa mga departamento ng marketing ng mga kalaban, na kung saan ang mga materalyes sa pagpapahayag ang minamali at binago ng ahenteng ito ang terminong "Coin" sa "Token" upang magmukhang masama ang kakumpitensyang coin sa pamamagitan ng pagtawag ito ay "Token". ICO, ITO, Shitcoin and ShittokenAng kadalasang ginagamit na na terminong "token sale" ay hinango nung panahon, na kung saan maraming ICO ang gumagamit ng Ethereum at and resulta, ang mga asset ay naging mga token sa panahon ng pagbebenta nito. Ngunit para maging tama, dapat itong tawaging ITO (Initial Token Offering) sa halip na ICO (Initial Coin Offering), dahil ang mga token ay inaalok sa sa karamihan sa puntong ito. Ang mga ito ay nagiging coin lamang sa kalaunan. Bagama't maaari itong pagtalunan, na ang ICO, kung saan ito ay inaalok ang mga token ay nangangahulugan din, na ang mga tokens na ito ay tiyak na magiging mga coin sa kalaunan at ang kanilang estado bilang isang token ay pansamantala lamang at ang pagbebenta ay nagsisilbi lamang bilang isang kaganapan upang magkaroon ng pinakamaagang pagtatala ng cryptocurrency, at hindi pwedeng mapagtatalunan na ang isang token ay isang coin, kung walang itong natatanging Blockchain, kung saan ito nakabatay. Kaya, mahalagang maituwid natin nating ang katotohanan at tingnan ang isang cryptocurrency kung ito ay isang coin at kung ito ay basura (na para sa karamihan ng mga kaso), tawagin itong Shitcoin o Shittoken, ayon sa pagkakabanggit. Kailangan nating tugunan nang maayos ang lahat ng teknikal na detalye.

I might as well put this as a warning for everyone. We all know that there is already a on-going war between Israel and Hamas. And as such, cyber criminals are going to take advantage of it. And so there were reports already that they have take advantage of a legit app called, RedAlert - Rocket Alerts. So what this app do is for those who download it, to receive notifications of incoming rockets targeting the country of Israel. But the criminals were able to exploit it, as they created a malicious version: The malicious RedAlert version imitates the legitimate rocket alert application but simultaneously collects sensitive user data. Additional permissions requested by the malicious app include access to contacts, call logs, SMS, account information, as well as an overview of all installed apps.

I'm sure majority here has experience this kind phenomena called "Near Miss". What is Near Miss? “Near-miss” events, where unsuccessful outcomes are proximal to the jackpot, increase gambling propensity and may be associated with the addictiveness of gambling, but little is known about the neurocognitive mechanisms that underlie their potency. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2658737/I personally experienced this last night when I did play on a landbased casinos and I thought that I'm going to win big. But the impact though, not just to me but for sure those who love to play slot games are huge. Psychologically, something is telling you to go and put more money, as maybe next time you will be lucky to win the major or grand jackpot. But logically speaking, we should consider this near misses as just other non-winning outcome. The thing though is that there could be gamblers who come across with it and think that they "almost won". And then the cycle starts and you fall and become a gambling addict. Image Source- How did you cope with this kind of phenomena? - Did you continue to play or just quit after experiencing it? - Are slot games random or it was design to give us this kind of outcome to make us feel like we almost win and so we might feel on the addiction side? This is more prevalent to slot games though, but it could be applicable to sports betting as well. Let's say you do a parlay and you got 3 out of 4 wins.

According to the reports of Elliptic, The value of illicit crypto laundered through cross-chain crime has reached a record $7 billion, new figures published today by Elliptic can reveal.
Cross-chain crime refers to the swapping of cryptoassets between different tokens or blockchains – often in rapid succession and with no legitimate business purpose – to obfuscate their criminal origin. Known also as “chain-” or “asset-hopping”, cross-chain crime is on course to become the dominant means of laundering cryptoassets. Of course, there is still the traditional way of hiding everything through mixers, but now they are using sophisticated methods as well and now they are called cross-chain crime. And North Korea's Lazarus group alone, have laundered over $900 million using this method to hid their trail. https://www.elliptic.co/blog/record-7-billion-in-crypto-laundered-through-cross-chain-servicesAnd theft is the predominant activities that this criminals do, and then followed by scammers/ponzi schemes. Just crazy numbers though and it's going to be very difficult to catch them at hand as there are new methods to hide or obfuscated their origin.

It's just hard to phantom what Hal Finney said way back, just a couple of days when Bitcoin was just released by Satoshi, on what could be the price of bitcoin in the future and it could be the "Mother of all predictions. This is what the legend say, https://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg10152.htmlJust imagine though if Hal is still with us today, the man is really a genius and visionary, as now that we have seen a lot of predictions of what will be the price is the future, like in the next bull run, we will be hoping to see $100,000. But this could be a big possibility down the line that $ 10 million = 1 BTC. Perhaps in the next 3 halvings? Do you think it's possible given that bitcoin is going to be scarce? By the end of 2024, there will be 20 million bitcoins. Currently, we are in 19,500, circulating supply. So if my calculations where right, 99% of all bitcoins will have been mined by 2032.And that 1% will be mined for the last 100 years.
