🚨 Ethereum Under Attack: Hackers Now Hiding Malware Inside Smart Contracts!

This isn’t just another headline. Hackers have leveled up — they’re now using Ethereum smart contracts to cloak malware.

New malicious npm packages like “colortoolsv2” and “mimelib2” are sneaking URLs into $ETH contracts, making them nearly invisible to detection tools. Once triggered, they pull in second-stage malware payloads — a nightmare for anyone ignoring basic security hygiene.

This is a critical wake-up call: if attackers can weaponize the same infrastructure we trust to build DeFi, NFTs, and billions in value, the risks just got very real.

🔑 My take: Developers, double-check your dependencies. Traders, don’t ignore this. $ETH ’s strength is also its biggest target.
