SlowMist issued a security alert, detecting a coordinated malicious npm supply chain attack. The attackers utilized fake trading bot repositories and DeFi-themed npm packages to deploy JavaScript information stealers, targeting npm users, DeFi developers, and trading bot users.This attack involved 30 malicious npm packages, among which stake-math@3.5.4 appeared as a locked dependency in the donoaccestag/forex-mt5-trading-bot repository. This repository presented approximately 2300 highly homogeneous bulk-generated forks, mostly concentrated under the poly-stocks account, with signals being exceptionally clear. The sensitive data that attackers could steal is extensive, including cryptocurrency wallet libraries, browser cookies and saved passwords, browsing history, developer credentials, shell history, password manager libraries, private keys, mnemonic phrases, and API tokens exposed in source code.SlowMist recommends that developers immediately remove the affected npm packages, audit package.json and package-lock.json, and check CI logs for any of the 30 malicious packages; consider any system that has executed npm install as potentially compromised, rotate all exposed wallets, private keys, npm tokens, cloud credentials, SSH keys, and API tokens, and rebuild the affected environment from a clean image.

According to Bloomberg, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is conducting a broad investigation into the prediction market platform Polymarket, covering its business activities including social media operations.Previously, The Wall Street Journal reported that Polymarket hired dozens of social media creators, primarily of college age, to create fake trading videos to attract users. This investigation encompasses other aspects of the company's business. The CFTC and the Department of Justice concluded an investigation last year into whether Polymarket violated the ban on U.S. users, but some U.S. users still access its main platform by circumventing the ban through VPNs and other means.Since reaching a settlement with the CFTC in 2022, Polymarket has technically prohibited U.S. users from using its main platform, but the company is taking steps to reintroduce its main exchange to the U.S. and is cooperating with the CFTC to lift the ban. Senators Adam Schiff and John Curtis sent a letter to the CFTC last Thursday, requesting confirmation of whether an investigation into Polymarket's advertising practices is ongoing and inquiring how the agency has prevented Polymarket from attracting U.S. users since the 2022 action.
