Hacker Targets Ethereum Devs with Malicious Code Update
A hacker embedded two malicious lines of code in an update for ETHcode, an open-source Ethereum developer toolkit, according to ReversingLabs. The code, hidden in a GitHub pull request, could have spread to thousands of systems via automatic updates. While there’s no proof of stolen assets, the incident underscores risks in open-source crypto development. Experts warn that many developers fail to properly vet packages, leaving them vulnerable to similar exploits. ReversingLabs and Ethereum developers recommend stricter verification of contributors and dependencies to mitigate such threats.

A fake GitHub repository posing as a Solana trading bot was discovered distributing malware designed to steal cryptocurrency wallet credentials, according to blockchain security firm SlowMist. The repository, named ‘solana-pumpfun-bot’ and hosted under the account ‘zldp2002,’ imitated a genuine open-source tool to deceive users. SlowMist’s investigation began after a user reported stolen funds, revealing that the malicious repository had garnered a suspiciously high number of stars and forks. The code commits showed irregularities, lacking the consistency expected in legitimate projects. The repository has since been deleted, but the incident highlights ongoing risks in the crypto space from disguised malware.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has assembled a new AI ‘dream team’ by poaching researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind, sparking outrage at OpenAI. The team, dubbed Meta Superintelligence Labs, is led by former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang and ex-GitHub CEO Nat Friedman. OpenAI’s chief research officer, Mark Chen, likened the recruitment tactics to a ‘home invasion,’ prompting the company to offer employees a week off and reconsider compensation strategies. Meta’s aggressive hiring, including rumored $100M signing bonuses, has intensified the AI talent war, with OpenAI losing key researchers like Lucas Beyer and Xiaohua Zhai. Meta’s stock rose slightly following the news, as the company consolidates its AI efforts under a new division focused on next-gen models. Despite the drama, OpenAI insists the real goal remains achieving general intelligence.

A previously unreported data breach has exposed more than 16 billion login credentials, making it one of the largest compilations of stolen personal data ever discovered. The breach includes credentials for major platforms like Facebook, Google, Telegram, and GitHub, as well as corporate and government websites. Cybernews researchers attribute the leak to a mix of infostealer malware logs, credential stuffing databases, and repackaged leaks, calling it a ‘blueprint for mass exploitation.’ The datasets were briefly exposed through unsecured cloud storage, and while they were taken down quickly, the damage was done. Experts emphasize the importance of multi-factor authentication (MFA) and passkeys to mitigate risks, as reused passwords and weak security practices make users easy targets. The breach highlights ongoing vulnerabilities in cybersecurity, particularly for smaller websites and individuals with limited resources.

A report by Ketman revealed that a North Korean developer, linked to DPRK IT worker rings, gained elevated access to Waves Protocol’s Keeper-Wallet GitHub repositories. The attacker, using the account ‘AhegaoXXX,’ pushed suspicious updates, including code to export wallet logs—capturing mnemonic phrases and private keys—to an external server. Former Waves engineer Maxim Smolyakov’s dormant account was also compromised, enabling malicious NPM package releases. The breach underscores the shift from freelance infiltration to direct repository control, posing supply-chain risks. Experts recommend auditing contributor privileges, monitoring repository redirects, and reviewing publisher domains to prevent similar attacks.
