Beware: Phishing Software Masquerading as Video Conferencing Apps Targets Cryptocurrency Users

Cryptocurrency enthusiasts, beware! Renowned blockchain security firm SlowMist has issued a caution regarding phishing software that cunningly disguises itself as video conferencing applications. This malicious software aims to steal your hard-earned cryptocurrency. SlowMist founder Cos (余弦) shared this urgent warning on his X(former Twitter): "Recently, numerous fake software programs have surfaced, pretending to be video conferencing apps. Their sinister purpose is to hook you into phishing cryptocurrency. Stay vigilant and steer clear of downloading or using any unfamiliar software." This warning comes on the heels of a recent incident involving MonoSwap, a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange (DEX) built on the BLAST platform. MonoSwap fell victim to a hack perpetrated through a phishing app named 'KakaoCall.' Remember to exercise extreme caution and never fall prey to such phishing scams. Protect your cryptocurrency investments by being vigilant and avoiding interactions with dubious software.
