🚨 Breaking News:Ethereum Dev Tool Targeted by Sneaky Malware Attack! 🧑💻🧨
Think open-source = safe? Think again. A hacker just slipped malicious code into ETHCode, a toolkit used by Ethereum$ETH devs to build dapps and smart contracts. 😱
🧠 What Happened?
Cybersecurity firm ReversingLabs found 2 shady lines of code hidden in a GitHub pull request by an unknown dev “Airez299.”
It made it past AI checks and human review. Yup — no one noticed. 👀
The code triggered a Powershell script that could steal your crypto or compromise your smart contracts. ☠️
⚠️ Why It’s a Big Deal:
ETHCode has 6,000 installs — meaning thousands of devs could be exposed.
It highlights how easy it is to sneak malware into popular tools.
This isn’t new: similar hacks hit Ledger, Solana’s web3.js, and more.
🔐 Devs, Take Note:
Don’t trust, verify. Always check contributor history before installing.
Use dependency lock tools, sandbox environments, and scan packages for weird updates.
This is your wake-up call if you're building in #Web3 . The biggest threats don’t always come from exploits — sometimes, they sneak in through a pull request. 🕵️♂️
