Kaspersky says scammers are targeting digital thieves, baiting them with keys to loaded-up crypto wallets and swiping any crypto added to pay fees.
Scammers are pretending to be naive crypto users who post the seed phrase to a loaded-up wallet online in a scheme that swipes crypto from those trying to raid it.
“Scammers have invented a new trick — they post crypto wallet seed phrases in YouTube comments using newly created accounts,” cybersecurity firm Kaspersky analyst Mikhail Sytnik said in a Dec. 23 blog post.

The WDK will enable developers to integrate non-custodial wallets for USDT and Bitcoin into any app, website or device.
The world’s largest stablecoin issuer, Tether, launched an open-source wallet development kit (WDK) to enable businesses and developers to integrate non-custodial wallets into any website or app — and it’s even designed to work with AI agents.
On Nov. 11, Tether announced the launch of its WDK, which it described as a modular software development kit “designed to empower businesses and developers to seamlessly integrate non-custodial wallets and user experiences for USDT and Bitcoin in any app, website, and device.”
The WDK was designed to support both human users and “embrace new digital beings like AI agents, robots and autonomous systems,” the firm said.

On the surface, these numbers indicate growth at both ends of the spectrum. However, a categorical examination shows that Bitcoin’s middle class — those holding between one and ten BTC — appears to be shrinking.
