Meeten Malware Campaign Reportedly Undermines Web3 Security Using AI-Legitimized Branding

December 6, 2024

Threat actors reportedly used AI-generated content to create deceptive company websites, blogs, and social media profiles, masquerading as legitimate businesses. By impersonating brands such as 'Meeten,' 'Meetio,' and 'Clusee,' these actors targeted Web3 professionals and cryptocurrency users, tricking them into downloading the Realst malware. This malware, which allegedly targets macOS and Windows platforms, is said to steal credentials, browser data, and cryptocurrency wallet information, sending sensitive data to remote servers.
