According to ChainCatcher, as reported by Cointelegraph, crypto hackers have found a new way to lure victims into downloading malware, which can allow hackers to access the victim's computer, steal their wallets, or cause other significant losses.
On-chain detective Tay Monahan posted on X that hackers first impersonate recruiters from well-known crypto companies, offering targets salaries between $200,000 and $350,000. This method does not entice the target to open a PDF file containing malware or download malware, but rather instructs the victim on how to fix microphone and video access issues.
Malicious actors first present lengthy interview questions to the interviewee, which need to be recorded through 'Willo | Video Interviewing' video. However, the victim will find that there is an issue when granting microphone and camera access, and is told they encountered a caching problem, before being provided with the 'solution' to resolve the issue.
Monahan stated that the malware provides attackers with a 'backdoor' into the victim's device, potentially depleting their crypto funds.
