• According to researchers at Trustwave Spiderlabs, a strain of malware known as Rilide is believed to be helping cybercriminals steal funds from cryptocurrency exchanges.
• The malware disguises itself as a legitimate Google Drive extension and can monitor the browsing history of their targeted victims, as well as inject malicious scripts to steal funds from cryptocurrency exchanges.
• Users are advised to remain vigilant and sceptical when receiving unsolicited emails, and stay informed about the latest events in the cybersecurity industry.

Rilide Malware Draining Crypto Funds

Researchers at Trustwave Spiderlabs recently discovered a new strain of malware which clandestinely draws funds from crypto wallets. The malware, known as Rilide, is thought to disguise itself as a legitimate Google Drive extension. It gives cybercriminals the ability to monitor the browsing history of their targeted victims, as well as inject malicious scripts to steal funds from cryptocurrency exchanges.

Forged Dialogs Deceiving Users

Where this malware differs from others is it has an effective and rarely used ability to utilize forged dialogs to deceive users into revealing their two-factor authentication (2FA) and then withdraw cryptocurrencies in the background. However, steps such as manifest v3 enforcement may not be enough “to solve the issue entirely” according to researchers Pawel Knapczyk and Wojciech Cieslak.

Staying Vigilant & Educated

The researchers have warned users of remaining “vigilant and sceptical” each time they receive unsolicited emails or assume that any content on the internet is safe without being absolutely sure. It is important for users to stay informed and educated about the latest events in the cybersecurity industry in order protect themselves against these types of threats.

Steps Taken To Tackle Malware

Steps are being taken in order reduce these attacks by cybercriminals but they may not be enough alone “to solve the issue entirely” according Knapczyk and Cieslak. The pending enforcement of manifest v3 is expected make it more difficult for criminals but this does not guarantee protection against all forms of malware threats like Rilide.

Conclusion

Overall, it’s important for users remain vigilant when receiving unsolicited emails or assuming content on internet is safe without double checking first. Additionally staying up-to-date with current developments related cybersecurity can help protect against threats like Rilide which could drain crypto wallet funds if left unchecked
