🚨🚨🚨 New Cryptojacking Malware MassJacker Targets Cryptocurrency Transactions

A new type of crypto-jacking malware known as MassJacker is targeting users who download pirated software. The malware hijacks #cryptocurrency transactions by replacing stored addresses. The malware originates from the website pesktop[dot]com, where unsuspecting users may inadvertently infect their devices. Once installed, MassJacker swaps out crypto addresses stored on the clipboard application for those controlled by the attacker.

CyberArk reports that 778,531 unique wallets are linked to the theft, with only 423 holding crypto assets, totaling approximately $336,700 as of August. Notably, one wallet contained over 600 Solana (SOL) worth around $87,000 and had a history of holding NFTs like Gorilla Reborn and Susanoo. An analysis revealed 1,184 transactions since March 11, 2022, and the wallet's owner engaged in decentralized finance activities in November 2024, swapping tokens such as Jupiter (JUP), Uniswap (UNI), USDC, and Raydium (RAY).

Cryptocurrency malware has been around since Coinhive released the first cryptojacking script in 2017. In February 2025, Kaspersky Labs found malware in app-making kits for Android and iOS that could scan images for crypto seed phrases. In October 2024, Checkmarx discovered crypto-stealing malware in the Python Package Index. Other malware has also targeted macOS devices.

Pump.fun’s X Account Hacked – Officials Urge Caution and Non-Interaction

BREAKING 💥 Crypto exchange Bybit confirms hack as over $1.4 billion worth of ETH leaves wallets

Bybit, the Singapore-based centralized crypto exchange, appears to have been hacked. Early estimates suggest the exchange has lost over $1 billion worth of ETH and significant quantities of other tokens, though the investigation is ongoing.

"Bybit ETH multisig cold wallet just made a transfer to our warm wallet about 1 hr ago. It appears that this specific transaction was musked, all the signers saw the musked UI which showed the correct address and the URL was from Safe. However the signing message was to change the smart contract logic of our ETH cold wallet,"

Bybit co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou posted to X. "This resulted Hacker took control of the specific ETH cold wallet we signed and transferred all ETH in the cold wallet to this unidentified address. Please rest assured that all other cold wallets are secure. All withdraws are NORMAL."

On Tuesday, the exchange announced it would be performing scheduled maintenance on its live server today stretching into tomorrow, which caused controversy as security researchers looked into the suspicious transactions.

The attacker then moved the majority of the funds to a second address, 0xa4b2, which swaps funds using decentralized exchanges, including Uniswap, Paraswap, and KyberSwap.

ByBit says its other hot and cold wallets are unaffected, and only their ETH wallets were impacted. "Bybit is Solvent even if this hack loss is not recovered, all of client assets are 1 to 1 backed, we can cover the loss," Zhou also post
