Crypto hackers take new spin on fake job scam, dropping ‘nasty’ malware
Rather than tricking victims into opening malware-infested PDFs or running malicious video calling software, this attack method prompts victims to fix a microphone and camrea access issue.
Crypto hackers have reportedly found a slick new way of tricking their victims into downloading “nasty” malware that can grant hackers access to a victim’s computer and drain their wallets or do other significant damage.
