Malware in Cracked TradingView App Has Been Draining Crypto Wallets
Scammers are utilizing cracked versions of TradingView Premium to steal funds from crypto wallets. These infected applications are being shared on Reddit, particularly in cryptocurrency subreddits. Victims have reported their crypto wallets being emptied entirely, after which the scammers impersonate them and send phishing messages to their contacts. Once the malicious application is downloaded on either Mac or Windows, it deploys malware such as Lumma Stealer and Atomic Stealer, targeting sensitive user data. In an effort to bypass security measures, scammers pose as customer service representatives to assist users with installation, even advising them to disable security protocols. Reports indicate that this malware can extract passwords and two-factor authentication details and send them to external servers. Notably, security researchers have noted the high level of user involvement in this scheme, emphasizing the devious tactics employed by scammers to execute these attacks.
