A crypto trojan lurks in WhatsApp.
Hackers spread a virus via fake chats that steals data from crypto apps.
Got this alert while sipping a late-morning espresso, and oulà, it’s one of those stories that makes you clutch your phone a little tighter. A new trojan is spreading through WhatsApp — sent by “friends” or fake investment groups — and a single tap is enough to give attackers access to your device, contacts, and apps.
This one is built specifically for crypto hunting. It watches for when you open Binance, OKX, Coinbase, MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger Live, Phantom… basically the whole toolbox we all use daily. The moment a crypto app is launched, the data-theft module kicks in.
Right now the campaign is hottest in Brazil, but let’s be honest: malware doesn’t respect borders. Anyone using WhatsApp could get hit.
So keep your eyes sharp, don’t tap unknown links, and double-check every “friend” who suddenly sends you an investment opportunity. Better paranoid than drained. Stay safe out there, mes amis. 🔒🌊
