⚠️ Watch out for crypto scammers!
The U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI have shut down 5 websites that used malicious software called LummaC2 to steal seed phrases and personal data from crypto wallet users. Hackers used this info to drain wallets and make fake transfers.
At first, 2 domains were blocked, but the hackers quickly launched 3 more — which were also taken down. Now, if you try to visit those sites, you’ll see a notice saying they’ve been seized by the authorities.
👨💻 Microsoft helped with the investigation and is now pushing to shut down 2,300 more related domains through a lawsuit. This is a big win — taking down these tools makes it harder for hackers to operate.
Microsoft had previously uncovered other crypto-stealing viruses like StilachiRAT and Cthulhu Stealer.
📌 Stay alert: Never share your seed phrases or passwords with anyone!
