Summary

Cybercriminals are leveling up their game with new, sneaky attacks targeting crypto users and Web3 developers. Kaspersky warns of OkoBot, a revamped version of TookPS that infiltrates systems via fake software updates and GitHub apps, then steals wallets, browser data, and crypto activity through encrypted SSH tunnels. Meanwhile, devs are being lured by fake LinkedIn job offers that promise GitHub project tests—only to drop remote access trojans that swipe project keys, cloud credentials, and wallet data. These attacks show how hackers are blending into everyday digital workflows, making it harder to spot—and harder to defend against.
