We have been talking about using Mac OS or even Unix flavored for our crypto activities because using Windows based are very dangerous as malwares can easily spread with this OS. However, recently, there was a info-stealer, known as Atomic Stealer.
So the threat actor leveraged everything when someone searches for
And then it will redirect them to a fake site
.
It will ask you to download the installer,
that contains the Atomic Stealer.
Other supported actions of the stealer include:
- collection of usernames and passwords from browser login data
- the ability to pull credit card details
- stealing data from a list of installed crypto wallets, among which are Ledger and Trezor
Although Ledger has blocked it, still we are not sure what is the extend of this malware as it could targets a lot of crypto wallets.
So again, we are not really safe in the world that we live-in. Hackers and criminals are evolving to author malware that will target any OS today and in the future.
