🚨 Core Ethereum Dev's WALLET DRAINED due to malicious AI extension!!

Even the most experienced builders are at risk. A core Ethereum developer named Zak Cole fell victim to a malicious AI extension that stole his private key and drained his hot wallet. The rogue extension, which was disguised as a legitimate code assistant with over 54,000 downloads, silently stole his private key and accessed his hot wallet for three days.

This incident highlights a growing threat for cryptocurrency builders and investors: wallet drainers. These are malicious programs that are designed to steal digital assets, and they are becoming a major attack vector. Scammers are using fake publishers and typosquatting to trick users into downloading these extensions.

This is a serious reminder to always be careful about what extensions you install. You should always vet extensions, avoid storing secrets in plain text, and use hardware wallets. Stay safe out there! #Scamalert #Scam #Hacking #Hack #Fraud
