🚨 Millions at Risk! CoinMarketCap Breach + North Korean Hack Attack Explode Crypto Chaos 🔐
CoinMarketCap, the go-to crypto site for millions, suffered a shocking security breach on June 20. Hackers injected malicious JavaScript into the site’s rotating “Doodles” animation, which showed users a fake wallet “verification” pop-up. Anyone who clicked it was redirected to a wallet drainer named “Impersonator,” silently stealing tokens. The attack worked by exploiting the JSON configuration of the doodles, likely via a flaw in their animation engine. Although CoinMarketCap quickly removed the code and patched the site, many users who approved transactions could already be compromised. 😨
Security experts revealed that this was a highly planned attack, likely involving backend access, making it more dangerous than a typical scam. The malicious wallet address receiving funds has been identified, and crypto users are strongly advised to revoke any recent wallet permissions and stay alert when visiting familiar websites. One user summed it up on X: “You’re just checking a site you visit every day — no red flags, no warning. That’s what makes it so dangerous.” 🧠💻
On top of that, Taiwanese crypto exchange BitoPro also confirmed a $11 million hack linked to North Korea’s Lazarus Group. The hackers used social engineering to infect an employee's device, bypassed multi-factor authentication, and injected malicious scripts into the hot wallet system during a routine update on May 8. The stolen assets were moved across Ethereum $ETH , Solana $SOL , Tron $TRX , and other blockchains, then laundered through mixers like Tornado Cash. With threats from both front-end breaches and state-sponsored attackers, it’s a tough week for the crypto world. 🌍🔓
