Crypto Phishing Attacks Surged in January
In a recent Feb. 9 thread on X, Scam Sniffer highlighted a concerning trend observed in January, noting a surge in phishing attacks coinciding with heightened activity within crypto communities following a series of airdrops in the previous month.

These scams, often occurring alongside airdrops and other project activities, have impacted around 40,000 individuals.

According to Scam Sniffer, fraudsters created the phishing websites in January, impersonating various projects such as Manta Network, Frame, SatoshiVM, AltLayer, Dymension, zkSync, Pyth, OpenSea, Optimism, Blast, and others.

Their efforts proved successful, with the top seven victims losing $17 million in total owing to phishing signatures such as ERC20 Permit, Create2, increaseAllowance, and Swap.

Scam Sniffer reported that hackers commonly exploited the ERC-20 Permit function, tricking users into unknowingly transferring funds from their non-custodial wallets under the guise of legitimate operations.

Many individuals fell victim to these scams due to cybercriminals actively posting fake comments on various platforms, posing as legitimate projects like Optimism and zkSync.

Threat actors are using fake #Facebook job ads to fool victims into installing Ov3r_Stealer, a new Windows-based stealer virus.

Ov3r_Stealer is designed to extract IP address-based location, hardware details, passwords, cookies, credit card info, auto-fills, browser extensions, crypto wallets, Microsoft Office documents, and a list of antivirus products from the infected host.

The campaign’s motive remains unclear; however, stolen data is often sold to other threat actors. Ov3r_Stealer may also be modified to deploy malware and other payloads, such as QakBot.

The attack initiates with a malicious PDF file seemingly hosted on OneDrive, enticing users to click on an “Access Document” button.

Trustwave discovered the PDF file posted on a fake Amazon CEO Andy Jassy Facebook account and Facebook advertisements promoting digital advertising opportunities.

Upon clicking the button, users are directed to a .URL file pretending to be a DocuSign document hosted on Discord’s CDN. A control panel item (.CPL) file is delivered through the shortcut file and executed by the Windows Control Panel process binary (“control.exe”).

Executing the CPL file triggers a PowerShell loader (“DATA1.txt”) retrieval from GitHub to execute Ov3r_Stealer.
