Hackers Use Webview2 to Distribute CoinLurker Malware

/ 1 min read

💻🦠 Hackers exploit bogus software updates to deploy CoinLurker malware. Cybercriminals are using deceptive software update alerts to distribute a new stealer malware called CoinLurker, which employs advanced obfuscation and anti-analysis techniques. The malware is delivered through various methods, including phishing emails and compromised websites, utilizing Microsoft Edge Webview2 to execute its payload. CoinLurker targets cryptocurrency-related data, scanning for wallets and user credentials across multiple platforms. Additionally, a single threat actor has been linked to multiple malvertising campaigns aimed at graphic design professionals, further highlighting the evolving tactics in cyber attacks. The emergence of another malware family, I2PRAT, which uses the I2P network for communication, underscores the growing complexity of these threats.
