A group of cryptocurrency threat actors dubbed “GreedyBear” has stolen over $1 million in what researchers describe as an industrial-scale campaign spanning malicious browser extensions, malware, and scam websites.GreedyBear has “redefined industrial-scale crypto theft,” according to Koi Security researcher Tuval Admoni, who said the group’s approach blends multiple proven attack methods into one coordinated operation.
While most cybercriminal outfits specialize in a single vector, such as phishing, ransomware, or fake extensions, GreedyBear has pursued all three simultaneously at a large scale.
The findings come just days after blockchain security firm PeckShield reported a sharp rise in crypto crime in July, with bad actors stealing roughly $142 million across 17 major incidents.
