"Web3 Game Developers Targeted in Crypto Theft Scheme"

A Russian threat actor is targeting game developers with fraudulent Web3 gaming projects that install multiple variants of infostealers on macOS and Windows devices. According to Recorded Future's Insikt Group, the campaign's ultimate goal appears to be to defraud victims and steal their cryptocurrency wallets. The campaign mimics legitimate projects by making little changes to project names and branding. Multiple fake social media accounts were even created to impersonate the projects. The main webpage of a project offers or links to installation files for the alleged game software, apparently to be used by developers. However, depending on the victim's operating system, these files deliver Atomic macOS Stealer (AMOS), Rhadamanthys, or RisePro. This article continues to discuss the Russian-language cyberattack campaign that impersonates legitimate game operations to spread various cross-platform infostealers.
