Cybersecurity experts have identified over 760 malicious applications that exploit Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to target Android devices, compromising sensitive user data and financial information. These apps often disguise themselves as legitimate banking and government services, convincing users to set them as default NFC payment methods. Once installed, they can intercept critical information such as login credentials and card details, which is then transmitted to hackers via Telegram channels. The campaign, which began in April 2024, affects users in countries including Russia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Brazil, impersonating banks like Santander and VTB.

3,000+ YouTube videos deliver malware disguised as free software

YouTube has been identified as a platform for a sophisticated malware distribution network known as the Ghost Network, which has been active since 2021 and surged in activity in 2025. This network uses over 3,000 videos disguised as software cracks and game hacks to spread information-stealing malware, targeting users searching for free software or cheat tools. Cybercriminals utilize compromised accounts and social engineering tactics to create a false sense of security, with videos featuring positive comments from fake accounts. The malware includes programs like Lumma Stealer, Rhadamanthys, StealC, and RedLine, which harvest sensitive information. Two significant campaigns were highlighted: one involved the Rhadamanthys infostealer through a channel with nearly 10,000 subscribers, and the other offered cracked software via a channel with around 129,000 subscribers, with one video gaining over 291,000 views. Users are advised to avoid cracked software, use strong antivirus protection, never disable antivirus software, be cautious with links, use password managers and two-factor authentication, keep systems updated, and utilize trusted data removal services to protect against these threats.

ModStealer Malware Targets Crypto Wallets: A Growing Threat Across Platforms

A new malware strain called ModStealer has emerged, posing a significant risk to cryptocurrency users by targeting browser-based crypto wallets for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP. It spreads through misleading job recruitment ads aimed at developers and uses obfuscated Node.js scripts to evade detection by antivirus software. ModStealer scans systems for wallet data, private keys, and credentials, sending this information to remote servers controlled by cybercriminals. It affects multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, and remains undetected by major antivirus engines. Once installed, it gathers sensitive information, manipulates clipboard contents, executes commands remotely, and captures screenshots. The primary targets are cryptocurrency users reliant on browser-based wallets, and the malware can lead to significant financial losses. Preventive measures include avoiding unsolicited job ads, using hardware wallets, applying system updates, employing reputable security software, and enabling two-factor authentication. In 2023, over .7 billion worth of digital assets were reported stolen due to crypto-related cybercrime, with malware and phishing schemes being major contributors. ModStealer represents a concerning evolution in malware, lowering barriers for cybercriminals and undermining confidence in cryptocurrency adoption.
