Slow Fog: Users should be aware of phishing attacks targeting blockchain engineers on LinkedIn

ChainCatcher message, the SlowMist security team released an article warning that phishing attacks targeting blockchain engineers have appeared on the LinkedIn platform. Blockchain developer Bruno Skvorc encountered a phishing attack disguised as a recruitment effort aimed at blockchain engineers. The attacker impersonated a project party and provided a link to a Bitbucket repository containing malicious code.

The SlowMist team's technical analysis shows that the malicious code hides a crypto payload, activated through the server.js file. Once executed, the program connects to a command control server, downloads the test.js and .npl trojan programs, and subsequently steals sensitive information such as system information, browser extension wallet data, and passwords, with the ultimate goal of stealing users' crypto assets.
