Cybersecurity Alert: Targeted Attacks on Crypto Industry Identified

According to Odaily, recent cybersecurity threats have emerged, targeting the cryptocurrency sector through sophisticated methods. A hacker group has been employing deceptive tactics, posing as venture capitalists to lure victims into downloading malicious scripts. These attacks have primarily focused on infecting Mac computers. In response to these threats, cybersecurity expert SlowMist has outlined several precautionary measures for those who may have been compromised. Firstly, individuals with cryptocurrency wallets on their computers should promptly and securely transfer their assets to prevent potential losses. Additionally, it is crucial to change passwords and update two-factor authentication for important accounts, such as Telegram, X, email, and trading platforms. Users should also check for any unauthorized device logins to these accounts. To further safeguard against these threats, installing reputable antivirus software like AVG, Bitdefender, or Kaspersky is recommended. Users are advised to choose a paid version for comprehensive protection and consider using multiple antivirus solutions alternately for added security. For those seeking additional assurance, backing up important files and resetting the computer is suggested. After resetting, it is essential to scan the backed-up files for any remaining threats before restoring them to the system.
