There are 500 different cryptocurrencies on that list and that's not all of them. But it's not a scam, it's not a commodity, it's not a collectible, it's not a Ponzi scheme, they're all legitimate currencies. What a joke. Every single one of them is just a way for some people to get rich and other people to get poorer.
Quote:Microsoft Incident Response has identified a new remote access trojan (RAT) that is capable of stealing a wide variety of information from your computer from passwords and cryptocurrency wallet information to operating system details, device identifiers, and even camera presence data.
The most sophisticated – and perhaps the most alarming – feature of this new malware is its ability to use watchdog threads to ensure self-reinstatement if removed. Basically, it can reinstall itself.
As reported by BleepingComptuer, the StilachiRAT is used to steal digital wallet data from multiple cryptocurrency wallets including Coinbase Wallet, Phantom, Trust Wallet, Metamask, OKX Wallet, Bitget Wallet and up to 20 others.
The malware also has sophisticated reconnaissance abilities and is able to steal information from an infected PC including credentials stored in your browser, clipboard data, system information, hardware identifiers, camera presence, active Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) sessions, and running GUI-based applications.
StilachiRAT can extract credentials from Google Chrome's local state file using Windows APIs, monitor clipboard activity for password information and crypto keys and track active windows or applications. It uses the Windows service control manager (SCM) to maintain persistence and reinstalls it automatically when the malware notices its binaries are no longer active.
t the same time, StilachiRAT can monitor active RDP sessions by impersonating logged in users. It does this by capturing information from foreground windows then cloning security tokens. This allows attackers to move laterally through a victim’s network after the malware has been deployed on RDP servers that usually host admin sessions.
StilachiRAT can also evade detection and has anti-forensics features, such as the ability to clear event logs and check for signs that its running in a sandbox in order to block malware analysis attempts. If its tricked into running in a sandbox, the RAT’s API calls are encoded to slow down further analysis.

Microsoft? Windows? Google? Chrome?
I'm sorry, these are unfamiliar terms in my digital life. Literally nothing runs on my machines until I type "sudo" and a really long password.

sudo is like su. The difference is that sudo executes a specified command ("sudo vi /etc/passwd" maybe), where su opens a shell.

Thank you, I assumed it was an application he was running.
He is the third " market maker" arrested this year.

Quote:A man was arrested Friday after being accused of kidnapping an Italian tourist and torturing him for weeks inside a Manhattan home in a bid to steal the alleged victim’s bitcoin, according to officials, law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation and a criminal complaint.
I assume bitcoin is more attractive for this sort of thing, because you can transfer it in a way without a weak point like an atm or bank. Traditional kidnapping and extortion still left one with some transfer point for the cash where there was greater risk. Other than that, you have to buy stuff online and then sell it,

Bitcoin is so easily traceable today by enforcement so I wouldn't use it for criminal activity.
But I think everyone involved in this knew the limitations of Bitcoin and the torturer supposedly has a bag of 1000 BTC. So I would assume he knows how it can be traced and also knows how to use it to avoid being traced.
It's rumored that there was an existing sadomasochistic relationship between these people as well as drugs which would explain how experienced crypto traders would get into a position where this would happen to begin with.
Quote:Taiwan-based cryptocurrency exchange BitoPro has confirmed a security breach resulting in the alleged theft of $11.5 million in digital assets.
The revelation came shortly after on-chain investigator ZachXBT flagged unusual wallet activity on Monday, June 2, raising questions about why the exchange did not alert users sooner.
Why are exchanges still being hacked? If you're supposed to be protecting significant assets, seems like you'd have several layers of security. And could easily afford it.

They're not being hacked. All the major exchange thefts have been inside jobs, as far as I know.

Just about any company or piece of software can be hacked if people invest enough time and ingenuity.

I have yet to wake up and find my entire bank account gone. Perhaps no one is trying hard enough.

I know that my bank account wouldn't justify someone spending more than a few hours to break into.
