Hackers clone Coinbase, MetaMask mobile wallets to steal your crypto

Posted by in categories: cryptocurrencies, security

Security researchers have uncovered a large-scale malicious operation that uses trojanized mobile cryptocurrency wallet applications for Coinbase, MetaMask, TokenPocket, and imToken services.

The malicious activity has been identified earlier this year in March. Researchers at Confiant named this activity cluster SeaFlower and describe it as “the most technically sophisticated threat targeting web3 users, right after the infamous Lazarus Group.”

In a recent report, Confiant notes that the malicious cryptocurrency apps are identical to the real ones but they come with a backdoor that can steal the users’ security phrase for accessing the digital assets.

There’s a new plan to regulate cryptocurrencies. Here’s what you need to know

Posted by in category: cryptocurrencies

Instead, it tanked and is now virtually worthless.

That crash reignited calls for new rules to govern a cryptocurrency market that is still something of a wild frontier. And now we have perhaps the biggest step yet toward new crypto regulation.

Two senators — a Republican and a Democrat — teamed up to unveil a broad new regulatory bill last week. But skeptics are already warning it’s a step backwards and is far too crypto-friendly.

Microsoft: Exchange servers hacked to deploy BlackCat ransomware

Posted by in category: cybercrime/malcode

Microsoft says BlackCat ransomware affiliates are now attacking Microsoft Exchange servers using exploits targeting unpatched vulnerabilities.

In at least one incident that Microsoft’s security experts observed, the attackers slowly moved through the victim’s network, stealing credentials and exfiltrating information to be used for double extortion.

Two weeks after the initial compromise using an unpatched Exchange server as an entry vector, the threat actor deployed BlackCat ransomware payloads across the network via PsExec.

Ken OtwellIt’s an awkward situation. Was the engineer continuing to do his job? Was his public claim about internal corporate technology interfering with his duties or causing harm to Google? Was it breaking a voluntary non-disclosure?

Kevin CuevasWith neurocyte based computing, it is a question worth exploring since we are already blurring that line anyway.

Physicists Caught Sound Moving at Two Different Speeds in 3D Quantum Gas

Posted by in categories: energy, quantum physics

After previously studying the phenomena of two sound waves in quantum liquids, scientists have now observed sound moving at two different speeds in a quantum gas.

If you were somehow immersed in the three-dimensional gas used for this study, you would hear every sound twice: each individual sound carried by two different sound waves moving at two different speeds.

This is an important development in the field of superfluidity – fluids with no viscosity that can flow without any loss of energy.
